What’s stopping us from using the api to post all of reddit here in a massive one-time merger?

Obviously the Lemmy devs would have to do it, but would there be legal issues? I think it would solve most of the problems with Lemmy, really.

    What if we did it JUST ONCE?

    We just need the content that’s already on there to massively improve things, we don’t need a computer constantly running updating the content, we really just need it over here once to match reddit, then we can replace it.

        Idea, don’t include the comments so that lemmy can still be organic and separate, this would also cut down the amount of scraping we’d need to do dramatically.
