Reddit API moment

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

We've still got two weeks of API status quo, right? It'd be wicked if someone could manage to populate Lemmy with a huge amount of reddit content (maybe a few whole subreddits? or the last few weeks of a crapload of different smaller niche subreddits?) to jumpstart this community into a viable alternative by having similar-ish content volume.

The thing that's so daunting for me is having to start over in so many niche communities that don't exist here yet. Let's 'clone' reddit while we can and then just go cold turkey on reddit entirely on June 30th! That sure would send a message...

Actually don't even need the api if you're just copying the the post, simply scraping pages will do
