Somebody should make an app that uses the anonymous Reddit JSON API to copy the popular Reddit posts and post them over here.
There are already some bots that essentially do that (perhaps not with that particular approach). Unfortunately, I think it has the opposite intended effect: organic growth doesn't seem to take all that well.
