I don’t particularly think the whole of Reddit needs to be scraped though. I could be happy with only scraping posts that pass a certain thresh hold of votes against the subreddits subscriber count and maybe getting those crossposted to the Lemmy equivalent communities that want to opt in to such a service. This would be especially useful for World News and the more niche subreddits that don’t yet have a big enough userbase here
This is a great idea.

The hard part isn’t describing which posts or comments need to be gatewayed.
The hard part is being able to deliver posts and comments across the gateway at all.
