Is anyone doing anything to archive some of the more significant trans subreddits?

I'm especially thinking about the trans surgeries resources of which there seems no parallel anywhere else on the internet. To be clear, I haven't heard anything about that subreddit going down and haven't been following closely, but considering the dumpster fire situation of Reddit as a whole right now, I feel like the loss of resources like these would be an incredible tragedy.

@revoluciana I think generally the information on reddit would be a shame to loose. I was rarely active on reddit, but often google searches took me there and I did occassionally find some gems of discussions on various things. Feels dirty clicking on links to there now. Same with twitter threads, only worse.

@toni Agreed. All of the above.

@revoluciana I do know that lemmy.blahaj.zone has a lot of very heavilly subscribed trans 'communities'. For example it has 'Transfem' with 840 subscribers, 34 posts and 269 comments already. It has 'egg_irl' with 606 subscribers and 18 posts. And there are trans groups on other lemmy/kbin instances. A lot of these are linking to each other, and to various relevant resources. So whilst they might not be able to archive all the conversations that happened, they are probably recreating places where the resources and important info can easily be shared.
