Why not make a bot that copy-pastes Reddit threads into respective Lemmy ones?

Many communities here are too empty, and if there are not enough people to make original threads maybe doing that for a while could help?

The worst thing to do would be an inorganic botch job on here to fill a gap when there's no need, you can read that content elsewhere.

Anyway, it's not an automatic guarantee of engagement or interaction. It's purely a hack move.

I'm happy to use Reddit if I feel I can't find anything to read on Kbin. You are allowed to use both you know?

I left reddit, and pretty much stay away from it. I don't want to give advertising revenue to reddit. And so I suggest federating with reddit is not a good idea. As you say, "it's over there, if we need/want it", to paraphrase.
