I wouldn’t spam Lemmy with Reddit’s detritus. Post it to Bitbucket or a public Google Doc.
Create a torrent out of it (or dump it online on a file sharing/download site), post the link on a new post with NSFW tag.
To add some more context, I wouldn't post the data here, I would create a new community for it. The data's not static, so releasing any point-in-time copy would be out-of-date pretty quick. The bot is still collecting information, just not posting it, so the database is still up-to-date.
I've been fairly protective of the information so far, since it would be worth its weight in gold to a spammer or general malfeasor, which is why I historically have only released the data 100 subreddits at a time, so I'm not going to release it in full anywhere, I don't think that would be ethical. Information like this is virtually impossible to find - it's possible I'm the only person (outside of Reddit) with this data.
Over the time I've run this bot, I've had many people message me to say thanks since they have picked up a passion project to rejuvinate an abandoned subreddit, or a subreddit they were subscribed to and didn't realise it had no moderators (e.g. sole mod had deleted their account for example). I'm also being asked by DM if I'm going to start posting the data again, and I don't think I want to, at least not on Reddit anyway.
Post it behind a paywalled API and charge reddit $1000 per 10 API calls. Because fuck em.
I agree with @derocker@lemmy.world and @Im_old@lemmy.world - either new instance (or maybe new community?) or a torrent, which would be the easier option and somewhat guarantee the data will be always available.
I think both would be ideal TBH if you're able to...

lol does ur bot use the api
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
