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.

There are servers that do this. You get a whole bunch of mostly terrible content (with not votes to rise good stuff to the top) and no way to interact with the original poster or commenters. It's not great.
