I mean we want the memes here, someone has to bring them over, and that person deserves to be paid for their work.
ok the pay is imaginary internet points but they can be redeemed for serotonin.
It ain’t much but it’s honest work.

Automate it with a bot.
Reddit API moment
We’ve still got two weeks of API status quo, right? It’d be wicked if someone could manage to populate Lemmy with a huge amount of reddit content (maybe a few whole subreddits? or the last few weeks of a crapload of different smaller niche subreddits?) to jumpstart this community into a viable alternative by having similar-ish content volume.
The thing that’s so daunting for me is having to start over in so many niche communities that don’t exist here yet. Let’s ‘clone’ reddit while we can and then just go cold turkey on reddit entirely on June 30th! That sure would send a message…
Do you know how to do this? Asking seriously!
But for real. You can use something like a webscraper that crawls reddit via the normal web interface and create a bot account on lemmy. Then just download the reddit posts and upload them to lemmy. I would not recommend this as lemmy.ml is currently almost at capacity and uploading tons of reddit posts does not help.
my man
I’m a simple man, I needz karma.
Thank you for your service.
I wouldn’t notice 'cause I nuked all my Reddit accounts… well, I really left only one, which was the oldest account I had.
If you use the Mlem app it actually does have an upvote/karma counter on your profile
