so i was thinking, sure reddit is killing of it's api but that doesn't stop people from emulating reddit, and scraping it

wouldn't a good compromise for people who still want the content of reddit, which are mainly the lurkers who don't need to interact anyways, wouldn't it be nice to have a sort of activitypub reddit proxy which enables you to see reddit posts on your lemmy client? sure it might be in a little legal gray zone, but who are they gonna sue haha if revanced is still legal because you compile it yourself, I'm sure it'll be easy enough to find a way for this to be legal as well

Scraping is pretty fragile and not suitable for many things, also reddit goes to shit anyway, my Homepage with 130 subs in hot recommends the same posts since the blackout startet and they are all old.
