The whole point is to leave Reddit. Just changing the frontend is not enough.
The mirror is just one part of the fediverser project. The other is in getting people to migrate away from reddit by joining the corresponding communities.
And it so happens that a lot of the people that want to migrate away from Reddit end up returning because they don't find the content here from their niche communities. This is the part that the mirror attempts to solve.
