I'm considering making a reddit to lemmy cross posting tool (lemmy.ml)

Idea: Scrape all the posts from a subreddit as they're being made, and "archive" them on a lemmy instance, making it very clear it's being rehosted, and linking back to the original. It would probably have to be a "closed" lemmy instance specifically for this purpose. The tool would run for multiple subreddits, allowing Lemmy users to still be updated about and discuss any potential content that gets left behind.

Thoughts? It's probably iffy copyright-wise, but I think I can square my conscience with it.

Pretty sure this exists already. I’m not in a place where I can search and pull it up but it’s linked in the Lemmy repo. Might just need some tweaking for easier deployment for non technical users.
