We've still got two weeks of API status quo, right? It'd be wicked if someone could manage to populate Lemmy with a huge amount of reddit content (maybe a few whole subreddits? or the last few weeks of a crapload of different smaller niche subreddits?) to jumpstart this community into a viable alternative by having similar-ish content volume.

The thing that's so daunting for me is having to start over in so many niche communities that don't exist here yet. Let's 'clone' reddit while we can and then just go cold turkey on reddit entirely on June 30th! That sure would send a message...

If I had the know how, I would just create an entire instance devoted to copying Reddit. Each community would be a subreddit that got copied over
