I think that I would have a bot populate reddit content on my own instance in those interested subreddits/communities. I would just have to make the proper link saying /r/privacy content goes to /c/privacy.
Cloned reddit content (the article & comments) on the lemmy instance would be tagged as a reddit clone, so it could be filtered out if desired. The bot would create new community posts or append comments to existing posts in the lemmy instance. The easiest thing is to let the reddit content be moderated by both reddit (first) and the cloned content ultimately by lemmy. Deleted reddit content/comments could stay visible or be hidden depending on the user or the communities preferences.
The problem with automatic mirroring from a site as big as Reddit is that it will completely drown out any original content on Lemmy. So we couldnt enable federation with your mirror instance for that reason.
Another thing is that Lemmy will most likely break in various ways if you try to add that much data.
One of the most destructive practices on Reddit is shadow banning amid chronic censorship. It makes the platform worse than useless because the deception of shadow banning enables the waste of human energy to proliferate beyond the victim’s awareness. If your mirroring function is capable of tracking the visibility of Reddit posts continuously, you could implement it in a way that informs authors when their post is censored. It could even be flagged in your system so all Redditors could judge the sensibility of a moderator before joining a group.
