10th September 2017 was when basic functionality was established.

I wish I could have been there

Just for fun I found the first post: https://saidit.net/s/askhistorians/comments/26/test_post_1/

You can see every post after it in order at links like this:

www.saidit.net/27

www.saidit.net/28

www.saidit.net/29

www.saidit.net/2a

www.saidit.net/2b

etc. This is basically the same indexing system notabug is using to record everything for the mirror. The first one starts at 26 because all the ones before that are bot-generated posts to test out the reddit system. It's a functionality that came with the reddit open source code. If you look at a post before 26 you can see it's garbage snippets of random text, so technically those are the first posts! Fun fact.

I remember seeing those weird random posts when notabug started the saidit ingest.

Thanks magnora7!!

It was a test of the takedown system, to see if it worked. The sub is /s/takedowns, specifically for testing it :) I think it's the only thing that's ever been taken down on saidit ever
