It would be most likely a one way system but most reddit users seem to not want to move across as they think they will miss something (what I understand with things like local communities).

It takes sense in someways for smaller communities to be bridged to allow those users to move across and not miss anything.

Yeah, I have reddits I use for my local area and I'd love if I could have them bridged so I can at least see the updates and it might make a few of my locals move over here instead of reddit in the long run as they wouldn't miss out on anything, if anything they miss less over here.

It wouldn't put things into Reddit but would only pull from it. But understandable if you wouldn't want to touch it, Doesn't it make sense to let each user on the Fediverse to choose that?

So what is stopping a one-way bridge? Reddit content here but no content back?

I think it would be good to have a proper talk with the Lemmy community if someone was to create this project again as it would make sense as you lot will be the ones that 'gain' from it more than Mastodon or Misskey users.

I thought most people moved from Reddit due to the way the platform was managed with AI stuff and the API

A bridge in this case is just a easy way to automate a fake instance that will have the Reddit content from subreddits to be transfered across to Lemmy and other Forum based Fediverse Instance.

So instead of people manually doing it, it will be mostly automated (Apart from having to follow the instance community first like any other lemmy instance)

Your friend has a great eye for getting a good shot.
