One has, but there are no posts yet I've created another, created a post and am waiting to see if others move over. I plan on giving up modship ASAP because I'm not built for that. Yet another has and there's a bit of activity.
I've wondered how hard it would be to write a bot that, for each new link-post in a particular sub in Reddit, it creates a corresponding link-post in a matching community in Lemmy. Intrinsically I feel like it would be easy, and might make the switch for users from there to here easier as it is already seeded with 'the content'.
Someone actually did that!

That's so cool. I might spin up a test community to have a play with that.
Yea I'm considering using it for the two communities I've created. But I'm afraid people won't like it.
Oh, do give it a go, though. It'll seed the culture on Lemmy until the latter gets going. Like a sourdough.
Will we get in trouble if the bot posts the lemmy generic link to the article on the reddit article once it's synched it over? It'd let people know when their stuff lands.
