Someone should make and extension that grabs what you post on reddit and sends it here
I'm not sure how authentication works for Lemmy, but you could just grab de new post form and send it to Lemmy, to an existing community or creating on with the same subreddit name

I thought about writing a bot that grabs the RSS feed of a subreddit (no API needed) and posts new entries to matching communities on lemmy. Code examples are readily available for lemmy bots.
But somehow it feels wrong. It's like some kind of fake engagement on lemmy. The communities should grow organically - not by copying Reddit.
I'm not going to stay here if there wont be reliable news feeds for my interest on here.
Are you going to actually engage with bots, though?
The solution is not to mirror Reddit, but to have actual people actually post shit here.
Maybe make a separate instance or community/mag for reddit repost, like unreddit or something.
We should create special communities that are purely reddit posts copied over
