What's stopping us from using the api to post all of reddit here in a massive one-time merger?

Obviously the Lemmy devs would have to do it, but would there be legal issues? I think it would solve most of the problems with Lemmy, really.

Yeah, it should definitely be done by a community, that would absolutely make things make sense, we need a bot that automatically scrapes and posts.

The biggest thing stopping people from using lemmy seems to be content missing, if we can overcome that we'd change the game.

I think what would be best is just doing it once, so that we can access all the content, but we move forward as a separate website, what do you think of that?

Honestly, I wouldn't know where to begin, but if someone would be willing to help me, I don't see why not!

I might be able to do it for just my favorite communities, but yeah the big 20tb issue taking weeks is a dealbreaker for one person doing ALL of it.

But if there was a way to make it easy to mirror a subreddit for an individual who owns a lemmy community... then maybe we could get something to work.
