Reddit has accumulated a lot of knowledge. It is controlled by central entity, so we'd be more safe with a backup of it.

Find how to:

Fetch all messages (initial sync)
Fetch only new messages since last sync (incremental sync)
Self-host the copy of Reddit data

The messages must be in a format that is easy to program against (e.g. JSON).

This data dump can be useful in:

Migrating to Reddit replacement (#38)
Researching statistics of Reddit activity (see research wiki page)
