Does alien.top do anything other than mirror reddit comments? (programming.dev)

I have just realised that alien.top seems to be mirroring reddit accounts, posts and comments, without labelling them as such. What is the point of this one way mirroring? As soon as users realise, they are going to just leave. There is no point having a discussion with a bot that cannot respond.

Yeah, that is the other part of the challenge here. My database has now about 6000 subreddits, but I managed to map only 200 or so.

I'm working on a website to help crowdsource this, but even then I'll have to go on and create these communities.
