Check out !worldnews@lemmit.online. The admin of lemmit.online has set up a bot that fetches reddit posts via RSS, making it much easier to make the switch and of course not getting any ads.

You can make requests for subs to fetch at !requests@lemmit.online.

In the end we’re just using lemmy and lemmit’s bot as a simple RSS reader, so nothing illegal or even remotely unethical happening here.

    I agree with that, however there is also some value to having the posts there. For example some local subreddits that I moderate I’d love to be able to kind of “mirror” the posts occuring on reddit as often times things being posted are events, local news, or local recommendation style things. I don’t want to have to manually repost all the news articles that people post for example.

    It would be kinda neat to see a browser extension that could integrate these Lemmy communities in a “cross-post” style manner like Reddit does. Allow you to view both reddit and lemmy discussions based on the link.
