Seeing a post about LJ possibly shutting down, and I was thinking about all the fics and recs and meta that haven’t been posted elsewhere. A lot of people who got into fandoms later don’t know how much good stuff was never put on Ao3. Would just be sad to lose all that.

Yup.
I assume the post you saw was linking to Denise’s thread. Your options are to import to DW (if it’s your own LJ account or a community you own) or to buy ViddersAdmin’s program, which sounds like it can grab coms, including all of a kinkmeme’s comment threads. It doesn’t sound like it can grab locked posts, but I’m not sure.

I hope this lights a fire under people’s asses to save things. Personally, I got very tired after nobody gave two shits about yahoo groups.
People for whom LJ was peak fandom can work on saving LJ content.
