Should we clone reddit posts? - eviltoast

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?

    Seems like the subscript markdown doesn’t work on Jerboa yet.
    Apologies to anyone bothered by the tildes. 🙇
