That is awesome! how soon until Beehaw is federated with them?

How about extending the software so that communities replicate between sets of servers over time? That way, things are more robust even if one server goes down.

Has anyone considered creating a bridging API interface for lemmy? Something that can translate between the lemmy and reddit API to make this easier?

I wasn’t thinking about reuploading comments, just submissions. There are a lot of submissions that would be interesting to discuss here as separate conversations away from reddit. For example, Futurology, Science, Finance, and even Aww and Eyebleach have some nice things to discuss.

Is it permissible to transfer the submissions from reddit to lemmy directly, to at least provide a seed to start conversations going?
