From a technical and legal standpoint, ignoring ethics and dignity, is there anything preventing us from scripting a scraper that recreates reddit posts in a lemmy instance? Like maybe top 50 posts of the top 20 subreddits, without comments. I think it would help convince people to join, since the major argument for sticking with reddit is that it has more content. Thoughts?

Im also on Ublue right now, used the 'make your own' guide to craft a Hyprland flavoured system. Which basically just means creating a github repo where you put the desired packages in a yaml file then github builds the immutable image for you (on top of the work ublue devs do ofc). Would highly recommend Ublue.

With great power comes a steep learning curve.
