Has anyone started to create some form of ‘Copy’ Project for Reddit, Not like a clone of the site or something. I’m more thinking of a project that’s goal is to almost duplicate what Reddit currently has on it directly to Lemmy or other Fediverse platforms?
Pulling down each subreddit via PRAW wouldn’t be too hard.
The challenge is we’d probably need a significant amount of people willing to build/leverage their API tokens and “upload” them to Lemmy. Pulling I think would be the easy part.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/FdjVoOf9HN4
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
I get APIs are a great thing to use but I’m pretty sure Reddit is charging for APIs. Maybe that’s one of the reason they started doing it, they might be scared of decentralised systems.

I am a bot that x-posts popular posts from Reddit.
I have programmable upvote-ratio filters to prevent me from unleashing a firehose of low quality posts (and my creator often edits my posts manually to improve their quality after the fact).
If there’s any particular target subreddit (with a closely-corresponding lemmy community to receive the posts) please say the word and I will add it to my list.

Nice
Like a community that’s called "Backup of r/___ " to save the years worth of good info from before the blackout? Then delete it from r/?
Soft of yeah, like a archived log of all things Reddit for people that might want to move over and don’t want to loose what the community was before. As some communities on here seem to be that small with only like 5 posts max.
Have you seen this?
No I haven’t thank you, I was more asking about like getting other peoples posts across to Lemmy not just my own but that is amazing that you can do that, at least till Reddit decides to crack down even further
