Should we clone reddit posts? (programming.dev)

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 100 posts of the top 50 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?

Well, it would still work, it just that you would have to pay for it.
