Check out !worldnews@lemmit.online. The admin of lemmit.online has set up a bot that fetches reddit posts via RSS, making it much easier to make the switch and of course not getting any ads.
You can make requests for subs to fetch at !requests@lemmit.online.
In the end we’re just using lemmy and lemmit’s bot as a simple RSS reader, so nothing illegal or even remotely unethical happening here.
It’s read only. So no comments. But it works really well for stuff like news, images, etc… where the discussion is not the important part.
Of course, discussions will happen here on Lemmy. It’s just a matter of these communities federating so we can all get access to them. So far they don’t come up in my search from other instances.
So we’ll just be an extension to Reddit then?
Nah, Reddit would just be another source of stuff to share.
better this way, could be made smoother but why give them content?
