I imagine it should be prioritized though, along with some of the other malicious upload issue mitigation bugs.

Probably would work to seed small communities with subreddit data, but…the maxim of “the real LPT is always in the comments” holds true (i.e. posts without comments is not what these places are about) and until users come and interact, this isn’t a substitute for being a real community.

Def a decent idea to jumpstart communities, as long as people aren’t too put off by the post data coming from reddit.
