I use lemmit. That way the reddit content comes here to Lemmy, and I have everything I want here in one place. I do have a policy to downvote any content that is hosted on reddit so I don’t have to give them a pageview. I wish I could automatically block that stuff.

I was curious about this kind of idea. Isn’t all reddit content owned by reddit, and isnt pasting their intellectual property onto a different platform not really super legal? (I fully support it)
Being able to extract all of the question/answer threads on reddit to boost the value of lemmy from a search index perspective seemed too good to be true as a solution.

Unless Reddit’s TOS is vastly different from other social media sites, you keep ownership of your content and give them a perpetual license to host it on their site. That way, if you post something illegal, it’s still your problem and not theirs.
That being said, copying non-link content is technically copyright infringement from the original poster. It’ll probably never amount to anything.

Maybe too good to be true, but I’ll ride that train to the end of the line!

I was wondering if it was possible to write a script to scrape reddit posts, and then ask chatgpt to say the same thing slightly differently and output the post/comments in a csv format and then use that to create a lemmy posting bot. Idk if chatgpt has api access like that though, and what agreements would prohibit this.
