I’ve been thinking about this today…

If there’s a divide among people who want to still use Reddit and others who want to try out the Fediverse (Kbin, Lemmy, etc), I believe it may be a good idea if we had a bot that could mimic at least the posts (and maybe later even the comments) on subreddits that people are missing out here in the Fediverse. This can at least help populate the emptier communities that are here on the Fediverse and incentivize people to remain here without the fear of FOMO (myself included).

Is there any existing solution that could provide the necessary functionality? How feasible would this be if someone would start working on this now, considering the Reddit API changes?

    My point of view is : Just take their contents manually or with not, to discuss about it here. With the indexation by search engines, fediverse will be the new reference.

    For ur last point the solution is reddit choosing to transfers to the fediverse system. There is (my POV) no interest to Dev an solution to make reddit connected to Lemmy/kbin

      I don’t mind doing it manually (I was planning to do it for now anyway), but it would be nice to have an automated process for that. Plus, I don’t think Reddit will ever allow content migration to Fediverse, considering they were censoring stuff related to Kbin/Lemmy a few days ago…
