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.
Also, these posts can then be cross-posted to help us create more content on lemmy native communities. Although I do recommend removing most of the post body when cross-posting. Alternatively you can turn the cross-post into a native post as if you simply were sharing content that you’ve seen on reddit, but with the perk of not having to load reddit.
I think that’s a fair concern, but it may be a good route for smaller communities to migrate and try and grow their communities.
World News is a big reddit community so I can imagine content flooding happening.
EDIT: Also this is happening only on Lemmit.online which is designed to be a Reddit mirror. So this makes some sense for people willing to try it out or wanting it separate from the active communities.
Indeed. If it’s an instance intended to mirror Reddit, it’s fine as a basic backup of Reddit. We definitely don’t want to encourage this behaviour in general purpose spaces, though. That’ll just fill communities with comments that no one comments on, making everywhere look dead.

@BananaTrifleViolin @crunchpaste @Wander you could have a community populated by only the top posts and comments from reddit after some delay
