For links only that's possible. And one community i know have the top links from their reddit counterpart mirrored here even partly automated.
For any kind of media and even text that would infringe the copyright of the author. And could put the instance in risk of legal action.
Therefore i see much more potential in getting the content creators and commenters here - just like it is happening already.
Yeah, it should definitely be done by a community, that would absolutely make things make sense, we need a bot that automatically scrapes and posts.
The biggest thing stopping people from using lemmy seems to be content missing, if we can overcome that we'd change the game.

I think what would be best is just doing it once, so that we can access all the content, but we move forward as a separate website, what do you think of that?

Honestly, I wouldn't know where to begin, but if someone would be willing to help me, I don't see why not!

I might be able to do it for just my favorite communities, but yeah the big 20tb issue taking weeks is a dealbreaker for one person doing ALL of it.
But if there was a way to make it easy to mirror a subreddit for an individual who owns a lemmy community... then maybe we could get something to work.
