The idea of fediverser is to do a lot more than "another mirroring bot". The idea is to have a way that can let people "clone" their reddit profiles to Lemmy instances and seamlessly migrate away from it. Pulling content from reddit and into specific communities (where the mods have expressed interest in hosting the mirrored content) is a way to bootstrap the Lemmy community and to convince potential reddit-migrants that they can settle here without missing out on the content from the niche communities.
