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.

    I feel like Lemmy would be a much more interesting space if it was able to grow more organically and find other communities and links, that aren’t only linked to Reddit.

      Exactly. I feel like this is one of those instances of “We’re spending time thinking about whether or not we could, when we should be thinking about whether or not we should.”

      Alternatively, we could have the bot just post all the posts, but not the comments

      That would save a shitload of space too.
