Is there an instance that has migrated all Reddit content? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I recently came across a torrent that seems to be an archive of Reddit. It got me thinking if it would be possible to make it locally browsable. However, I also considered the possibility that someone might have already addressed this by creating a public Lemmy instance, enabling the content to be accessible from any federated instance.

I don't really see how this would be useful. Having purely archived data available in a software designed to show you new posts feels like a format/content mismatch.

I find Reddit more useful because of all the data it has than because of the new posts. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
