I’m not sure how authentication works for Lemmy, but you could just grab de new post form and send it to Lemmy, to an existing community or creating on with the same subreddit name

    The irony of this post is the fact that Reddit’s new API policy will literally make such an extension pointless starting in July. People should just….not post on Reddit…

      The browser extension doesn’t need reddit API access, it just needs Lemmy API access

      It would grab the reddit submission page html data

    I thought about writing a bot that grabs the RSS feed of a subreddit (no API needed) and posts new entries to matching communities on lemmy. Code examples are readily available for lemmy bots.

    But somehow it feels wrong. It’s like some kind of fake engagement on lemmy. The communities should grow organically - not by copying Reddit.

    A lot of the best Reddit users (imho) already migrated, and a good chunk more will come in after the 30th. The migration process itself is acting as a great crap filter. I respect your opinions, but I strongly disagree… If Lemmy gets overrun by shitty, stale Reddit humor and reposts and low-effort, scraped posts, I’m outta here. I’m enjoying the atmosphere here a great deal, and the mass archive of content will come with time. Lemmy doesn’t need to be a mirror of Reddit spiraling into a whirlpool of crap, IMHO.

      Reddit was quite bearable once you left the main subs and went to the niche stuff.
      If this here gets big enough it will become like this as well i guess.

    What would be even better is to download all reddit and repost it on lemmy as until the end of the month the API does not have limit, right ? :D

      The extension would be for content creators that don’t want to abandon reddit yet but are open to using lemmy if there’s zero friction

    Or the other way around, cross post from the main platform (lemmy, kbin) to reddirt.

    This also makes the new platform more visible on the sinking ship.
