I've been thinking about this today..

If there's a divide among people who want to still use Reddit and others who want to try out the Fediverse (Kbin, Lemmy, etc), I believe it may be a good idea if we had a bot that could mimic at least the posts (and maybe later even the comments) on subreddits that people are missing out here in the Fediverse. This can at least help populate the emptier communities that are here on the Fediverse and incentivize people to remain here without the fear of FOMO (myself included).

Is there any existing solution that could provide the necessary functionality? How feasible would this be if someone would start working on this now, considering the Reddit API changes?

You can simply add .json to the end of any sub or account to get the data, so it shouldn’t be too hard to set something up, assuming there is a POST API in kbin. Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/voidlinux.json

This is good to know, will it still work with the API changes?
