Is there some sort of bridge similar to what is seen with Matrix and services like Discord and Messenger, but with Lemmy and Reddit so that users who are moderators of both communities can make it easier for enjoyers of one subreddit to switch?
Uh, that’s gonna be hard to do with Reddit ending it’s API
I wonder how hard it will be to just scrape the HTML to accomplish this. It’d be a bit of a cat-and-mouse game, but you’d probably get pretty far just using Google’s user agent string. I kind of think Reddit wouldn’t actually care about scraping vs API access, since all of Reddit’s dumbfuckery seems to be coming from spez panicking due to investor pressure, and I’d bet investors don’t have the faintest idea what “scraping” is.
They’re using RSS feeds. Not the API. Shouldn’t be affected.
Also, the API isn’t closing. Devs will just need to pay for it if they go over some limits (which were increased since the blackout protest).
Shameless plug: have you seen !requests@lemmit.online @lemmit.online?

It’s not entirely what you asked for, but I haven’t seen anything that’s like it either.
I don’t see any instructions or even much explanation on how it works on the gitlab page. Can you explain what it is and how it works?
No, it’s a one way sync.
