... go through your 'top posts', copy & paste the text into a doc, post it here, then delete it. Let reddit's loss be lemmy's gain!

It would be neat if there would be a script that would:

Crawl through your top Reddit posts
Copy the content and make an identical post on Lemmy
Overwrite the post on Reddit with a link to the Lemmy post

That's definitely possible, the API of both Reddit and Lemmy are developed enough for it. It would just be a case of someone taking the time to sit down and make it.

I think the biggest hurdle might be the fact that not every subreddit as an equivalent Lemmy community.
