Codeberg was asking about this. The linked toot by a commenter points to :

They are minimal. They provide the data you probably care about and the data you need to comply with the original license in SQLite format.

Would creating a Lemmy instance with that content be enough? Doing so the already enough large Lemmy community could already interact with it.

I think it would make sense to have a specialised forum for it. The question & answer format requires data that Lemmy just isn't able to fully replicate as it is.

Also the community editable nature of stack exchange is really unique and more like a wiki than a standard forum/branching discussion threads, where we're presumed to have sole ownership of all of our posts.

Seems like it would be good to request Discourse and NodeBB to offer similar features
