There are a few Mastodon bots that do that for some prominent Twitter accounts. I suppose it could work for links here but wouldn't really make sense for text posts.

Actually I think it makes the most sense for text posts and comments. Links can be found elsewhere. It's the user generated content that has real value.
Depends on the context of the text post. Some are basically articles.
They are hyperlinks, there is nothing unethical about sharing them.
Personally, i wouldn't be opposed to that. I think a lot of potential lemmy users might be turned off by the lack of content here. Then once the user base on lemmy is more self sufficient, we could taper off the cross posts.
Not sure about that, it could end up being counterproductive, I mean, reddit is full of spam, if there’s no good antispam feature here you could ruin communities with a bot copying content.
Not to mention that if someone on reddit realizes there are bots copying content, they could even spam the subs on purpose.
I believe it would be better to do it manually, copying the source in case of links, not copying text post, that wouldn’t be honest IMO.
Depends on the community and the content. Informational links seem like fair game to me in most cases.
I think it would be fine. It would fill the communities a bit.
that or create anew
