There’s quite a few communities that i’m missing on Lemmy.
It could potentially lead to a trial, and/or “save” Lemmy, so it seemed worth asking, just in case.

By illegal, do you mean against Lemmy’s rules or against legislation?
For the former, I think it’s up to each communities rules. In general, bots should be marked as such so that users can chose to hide them if they wish. For the latter, apart from neighboring rights which allows news outlets in some countries to seek remuneration from links to articles, there’s nothing illegal in sharing links on Lemmy.
As for existing bots copying posts from Reddit, there is lemmit.online but is has been broken since Reddit removed their RSS feeds.
The latter
But thanks, i didn’t know about lemmit even if i read about the different instances before, it’s still a bit hard to find communities of interest(, but not anymore than with reddit, youtube, twitter, facebook, discord, etc ). I’ve subscribed to their TIL but the search function for Sync or Jerboa aren’t very informative.
I haven’t been able to subscribe to communities I’m not already subscribed to using Sync, I usually go on the web interface.
If you want to search for already copied communities, you should search lemmit’s local communities. To request new ones, you have to post on [email protected], but keep in mind that the bot is broken until its author updates it.
Yep that’s what i’m currently doing with mapporn, it’s easier with a computer, i’m glad to have found out this bot exists(, or existed until 3 days ago, don’t yet know how it’ll turn out).
