What do you think about sublemmies that add content by reposting from Reddit? (lemmy.world)

Is it a good (probably temporary) way to get content in Lemmy?

Honestly yes I think it makes sense to do this, as long as the content itself isn't hosted on reddit. It would be cool if somebody could make a bot for mods to enable this in their communities to specify subs to pull posts from and how often.

    I created a bot like this. https://github.com/daniel-lxs/BotIt
    It's intended for links and I wouldn't encourage using it for anything else, as you said I think the best idea is to crosspost content that isn't on reddit on the first place, and just use reddit as a way to measure how engaging is the post.
    This is so far a work in progress so expect bugs. But in my opinion, the bot is usable in this stage.

    Edit: I might add multiple subreddit and magazine/community support, so you could specify a map and pull from many places to post in many places, stay tuned.
