Huge benefit for reddit mods stuck without an easy way to move their communities over

Bot threads (from reddit, rss, or otherwise) rarely have any engagement and they end up just cluttering feeds with mostly shit

  There are a few cases where it can be convenient but it’s rare and reserved for ones that act more like an rss feed. And I do subscribe to some of the similar rss feed mirroring communities/instances.

Mirroring Reddit threads discourages participation as the OP isn’t there and there’s little point in discussing with yourself.

Already exists at lemmit.online. Many servers block it because it’s annoying. I use it to keep track of niche communities I left behind.

It’s been tried. It sounds like a good idea but all you get are a bunch of threads with no comments and an OP that can never reply.

There was even one that spun up a Lemmy acct for each reddit user that they could claim to ease the transition.

While a cool concept it was largely derided by the existing threadiverse users.
