Many many years before the reddit migration, /r/goldandblack had a lotide instance that consisted mainly of posts crossposted by a bot.
The constant dump of empty posts on my feed really helped me understand that you don't want to blindly mirror reddit posts. If you just want a list of stories, an rss feed is better. You come to a link aggregator for the discussion around the links and without the discussion it's just a crappy version of an RSS feed.
Some people who haven't experienced a ghost city online don't realize that.
