I think it's the one sub that I miss that would lend itself well to having a bot repost them since you're not supposed to contact the op anyway. I don't know how to do bots and I think it would be an easy success if someone wants that.

OP, you can set up a RSS subscription to your fave Reddit sub. It might not give you all of the replies but it should give you the original post.

Also, there's a RedditUpdates community (or magazine?).

That's a good idea, it's been a minute since I've done that. Is there a way I can do that through lemmy or do I have to use an add on for my browser like Feedly?

You can run a bot to tail your RSS feed and post new entries to Lemmy, yeah: https://github.com/Ategon/Lemmy-Mega-Bot

I don't think there's a way to do this in Lemmy. I did this in Inoreader (until I decided to unfollow those subs completely).

I think the idea is that we want to be our own community, and not depend on reddit for content generation and then just sit around and discuss what trickles down to us.

I think that's 90% true, but best of reddit updates was mostly bot created anyway and were also reposts.

If you prefer Reddit, just go back to Reddit. No need to pollute Lemmy.

Do it yourself, this whole thing is open source. Also, this is Lemmy, not reddit. It doesn't need to be reddit. If you want reddit content still you are free to use reddit alongside Lemmy.

Wasn't aware of that community, thanks!
