It'll happen with time, but yeah, reddit has had a decade to have any interest about anything to be posted on their platform

I hope so. In the meantime I would love to see a proxy to/from reddit, kind of like how there is bird.makeup for following Twitter people in Mastodon. I don't care if the discussion on Lemmy doesn't go back into reddit. It would make the transition easier anyway.

Someone has (or had?) a bot that would repost threads from popular reddit subs. Always saw them in new but without any comments or upvotes. It didn't interest me, seemed artificial.

I think Lemmy just needs to keep growing organically for now as instance operators and the code devs figure out the scaling problem.

Yes, sure. But it would be cool if we had "proxy" communities for some of the non-techy stuff that I can subscribe to. Just so I can keep in tabs with updates on my favorite workout app, etc.

And if that proxied community ever transitioned over, they could just take over the community.
