Couldn't Lemmy create a 'Replicate Reddit' bot that copies new posts from specific communities on Reddit and recreates them under similar communities on Lemmy?
https://lemmit.online/
Issues people have with this is
Most posts are also at 0 comments with 0 upvotes, because what's the point of interacting with a post for no reason?
lemmit.online does that already actually, if you're interested in it
Noob question perhaps, but why is there a separate instance that does this instead of communities doing this one on one? For example, Lemmy/c/nba could auto-replicate new posts from Reddit/r/nba, no?
Most instances wouldn't want a reddit bot using up their resources, so it would be best for them to have their own separate instance.
The issues remain.
Most of the posts on Reddit nowadays are low quality and/or rage baiting. Most of the users don't want those replicated.
And if the questions are replicated, the person asking the question will never see the comments.
