so i was thinking, sure reddit is killing of it’s api but that doesn’t stop people from emulating reddit, and scraping it

wouldn’t a good compromise for people who still want the content of reddit, which are mainly the lurkers who don’t need to interact anyways, wouldn’t it be nice to have a sort of activitypub reddit proxy which enables you to see reddit posts on your lemmy client? sure it might be in a little legal gray zone, but who are they gonna sue haha if revanced is still legal because you compile it yourself, I’m sure it’ll be easy enough to find a way for this to be legal as well

    but who are they gonna sue haha

    The admin of the instance that provides such a proxy probably.

    I’m a bit conflicted. On one hand I’d like to see reddit die, on the other hand I wish I had a backup of subreddits such as r/HFY. Maybe it would be enough to just dump the current archive into an instance and let various lemmy communities that map the subreddits grow from there.
