Huge benefit for reddit mods stuck without an easy way to move their communities over

There are a few cases where it can be convenient but it’s rare and reserved for ones that act more like an rss feed. And I do subscribe to some of the similar rss feed mirroring communities/instances.
Remember FARK? It’s back, in Lemmy rss form: !fark@ibbit.at
Can we just… not?
Create your own community and generate new content organically rather than copying and pasting from somewhere else. Some people left that joint for a reason.
Addendum, spread it out!
I have watched some communities burst with 20+ post then fizzle out within a week.
If you are passionate about a niche and have lots of content to share spread it out. Make a list, and post a few each week. That’s how a lasting community with momentum forms. I’ve said it before but it surprising how fast something can build.
We already have lemmit.online for Reddit mirroring.
Already exists at lemmit.online. Many servers block it because it’s annoying. I use it to keep track of niche communities I left behind.
Mirroring Reddit threads discourages participation as the OP isn’t there and there’s little point in discussing with yourself.
It’s been tried. It sounds like a good idea but all you get are a bunch of threads with no comments and an OP that can never reply.
There was even one that spun up a Lemmy account for each reddit user that they could claim to ease the transition.
While a cool concept it was largely derided by the existing threadiverse users.
