Not sure about that, it could end up being counterproductive, I mean, reddit is full of spam, if there’s no good antispam feature here you could ruin communities with a bot copying content.
Not to mention that if someone on reddit realizes there are bots copying content, they could even spam the subs on purpose.
I believe it would be better to do it manually, copying the source in case of links, not copying text post, that wouldn’t be honest IMO.
I was just going to comment this… I have thought reddit has been on a strong downhill decline for the last 8 years. There is so much spam and misinformation and ads disguised as posts and fluff… I didn’t trust half what was posted there anyway.
What I’m finding on lemmy is that it is more organic, I feel like people are more genuine, and I think if we copy posts 1:1 and bring in the spam and misinformation and fluff then that defeats the purpose. I get people might be having withdrawals from reddit, I’ve habitually used it for 15 years, but I’ve deleted my accounts and I’m over it. It’s dead to me. This is a new community, we don’t have to be a reddit mirror, and I’d prefer it not to be.
