Genuine question.
There are tons of niche subs on Reddit that aren’t on Lemmy or don’t have enough people posting. Lemmy could benefit from bots that automatically post Reddit content. Why is this not a thing?

Reddit has more content. And arguably, more content that is actually important. It has this advantage over Lemmy because Reddit is older.
If bots can bring the important information over to Lemmy, then that will make Lemmy more valuable. None of the anti-bot users are lining up to manually do all that work themselves.
That much is obvious, but Reddit also has so many reposts it’s not even funny
Also there’s a lot of trash on Reddit too
Comparing it percentage wise would be a fairer comparison, and imo the average post quality on Lemmy is so much higher than on Reddit. Wich would mean if you start bringing over Reddits content, you would automatically lower Lemmys average post quality
