For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances' admins or moderators.

Now I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I think you still might not get all comments, only the comments made in the communities that are now synchronizing to your instance. Communities are the vector for syncing. Users I think are synced as an extension of syncing the posts in the communities you follow. The syncing doesn't start with the user, for example, and then spider out from there. So you could end up with discrepancies in the comments between your instance and Hexbear, but it should be the vast majority of them, since most people on Hexbear stick to the local view.
Yeah... It's not perfect but I'll see how it goes.
I might make a script to try and see if I can kinda force it to fetch some of the comments

With the script it's working decently. There are problems importing things when the post or a parent comment has been deleted, but everything else is getting added. Thanks for the recommendation!
Now if just hexbear would update to 0.19.15 or increase the page limit to 100...
