I’ve been thinking about this today…

If there’s a divide among people who want to still use Reddit and others who want to try out the Fediverse (Kbin, Lemmy, etc), I believe it may be a good idea if we had a bot that could mimic at least the posts (and maybe later even the comments) on subreddits that people are missing out here in the Fediverse. This can at least help populate the emptier communities that are here on the Fediverse and incentivize people to remain here without the fear of FOMO (myself included).

Is there any existing solution that could provide the necessary functionality? How feasible would this be if someone would start working on this now, considering the Reddit API changes?

    I’m not expert, for me u are blocked when u exceed an request limits. Don’t code ur scrapper directly on google or the site but with an copy of the page.

    I’ve been blocked when I coded , never at using it. But I’m not an expert, just amateur so it’s a pure guess
