so i was thinking, sure reddit is killing of it's api but that doesn't stop people from emulating reddit, and scraping it

wouldn't a good compromise for people who still want the content of reddit, which are mainly the lurkers who don't need to interact anyways, wouldn't it be nice to have a sort of activitypub reddit proxy which enables you to see reddit posts on your lemmy client? sure it might be in a little legal gray zone, but who are they gonna sue haha if revanced is still legal because you compile it yourself, I'm sure it'll be easy enough to find a way for this to be legal as well
