How? I've been looking for a way to host my data elsewhere.
I found this website https://www.rareddit.com, but I'm not sure how to do that, and I contacted the author and didn't get a response.
Instructions for downloading data is here:
https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043048352-How-do-I-request-a-copy-of-my-Reddit-data-and-information
Submit form here:
https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request
then host the data wherever you like (preferrably somewhere it will show up when searched)
Then replace every comment/post with instructions on how to find that data.
Example of redacted post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/paradoxplaza/comments/126ka7a/paradox_wants_to_shut_down_development_studios_in/
Results from search:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=reddit-u-iceblade02+github
Destination:
https://github.com/Iceblade02/reddit-u-iceblade02?tab=readme-ov-file#reddit-u-iceblade02
The destination part is the issue. That github link works very poorly. The rareeddit example is much better.
I'll admit rareddit looks nicer and is more convenient for the user - but it doesn't seem like an option, since (as you said) the author isn't responding.
My data is off reddit (most important part) and findable (bonus).
