But for real. You can use something like a webscraper that crawls reddit via the normal web interface and create a bot account on lemmy. Then just download the reddit posts and upload them to lemmy.
I would not recommend this as lemmy.ml is currently almost at capacity and uploading tons of reddit posts does not help.
Do you know how to do this? Asking seriously!
With the reddit api /s

Oh I personally don’t intend to, just wanted to understand how it works. Reddit has so many bots it shouldn’t be too advanced programming
You’d have to create a separate instance in order to preserve subreddit names since those names would conflict with existing names on other instances
