I wanted reddit, but with the ability to archive my data for later usage. Ie, I wanted to be able to have all my content readable at least even if where it was posted went down (whether briefly or permenantly)

Lemmy lets me run my own instance, so it works great for this. Gives me some sort of control of my destiny, while still being able to participate in essentially message boards.
