Reddit refugees, has your favorite sub migrated already? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I, being someone who works with computers, have had some luck with most of my favorite subs being here already.

Despite that, some of my hobby ones still aren't here. NFL exists, but it's the same as nothing so far. Soccer I couldn't find at first, maybe today it already does? Also, no sign of fantasy football.

I also followed a bunch of History subs, but looks like most people in Lemmy only care about science and technology.

Tell us, what is missing for you?

I've wondered how hard it would be to write a bot that, for each new link-post in a particular sub in Reddit, it creates a corresponding link-post in a matching community in Lemmy. Intrinsically I feel like it would be easy, and might make the switch for users from there to here easier as it is already seeded with 'the content'.

Someone actually did that!

That's so cool. I might spin up a test community to have a play with that.

Yea I'm considering using it for the two communities I've created. But I'm afraid people won't like it.

Oh, do give it a go, though. It'll seed the culture on Lemmy until the latter gets going. Like a sourdough.

Will we get in trouble if the bot posts the lemmy generic link to the article on the reddit article once it's synched it over? It'd let people know when their stuff lands.
