It didn't stop the AI people so why should it stop you. There's already an instance where you can request a sub https://lemmit.online/ but it looks like it's just posts.

Rules
Remember, Lemmy World rules also apply here.
0. See: Rules for Users.
- No bigotry: including racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.
- Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here.
- Be thoughtful and helpful: even with ‘silly’ questions. The world won’t be made better by dismissive comments to others on Lemmy.
- Link posts should include some context/opinion in the body text when the title is unaltered, or be titled to encourage discussion.
- Posts concerning other instances' activity/decisions are better suited to !fediverse@lemmy.world or !lemmydrama@lemmy.world communities.
- No Ads/Spamming.
- No NSFW content.
This should be extended to also mirror subreddits and comments with their upvotes. The system could create fake users to achieve this. I guess as the 3rd party API is now expensive the mirroring needs to be done from a backup.
Additionally it would be ideal to have the posts mirrored also on a specific community on any instance. This way the new communities can decide if they want to start from scratch or from their Reddit content.
It would be ideal to just mirror all subreddits, posts and comments from Reddit to the fitting community in Lemmy. Comments might be tricky, but should be possible by a knowledgeable programmer on his own instance.
Ha, not sure if I read you right or it’s just my reading, but if you think “coms” is somewhat inappropriate, I got news for you regarding “subs”…
Will it work to find content on Lemmy easily by adding "Lemmy" to your Google query at the end?
Content is the second step I think...in my opinion copy what you deem useful und unproblematic?
When you use Google you simply can request a cached copy of that site. Or use a link rewriter add-on that turns reddit.com into teddit.net
