Idk if it's possible, but if someone with the resources to make a bot that slowly clone reddit posts to Lemmy, so instead of searching for "something + Reddit" we could search for "something + Lemmy", that would be the end of Reddit, at least for me.

I'm 100% on lemmy now, but occasionally when i need to troubleshoot my PC I still have to search on Google for Reddit posts and I hate myself for giving reddit traffic.

I miss the 2 dozens Cat Subs that flooded my feed with Cat memes and funny cat pics everyday. If anyone knows about any cat subs on Lemmy please reply here.

I am working on a bot that clones posts from reddit to lemmy It's for a community that wants to have a backup on lemmy in case reddit goes to complete shit But wouldn't we this way end up with a lemmy that is full of shit from reddit?

This can be done by periodically scraping a subreddit. I have a working script that can do this for a subreddit that I follow. There's a few more things that I need to do before I can open source it
