Does lemmy have any communities dedicated to archiving/hoarding data?

    Yeah, it’s surprisingly small when it’s compressed if you exclude things like images and media. It’s just text, after all. But the high level of compression requires special software to actually read without uncompressing the entire archive. There are dedicated devices you can get, which pretty much only do that. Like there are literal Wikipedia readers, where you just give it an archive file and it’ll allow you to search for and read articles.
