Eventually I want organic usercreated content of course, but to get things started it'd be good to at least reliably have core articles and popular stuff be posted so users can feel up to date and have threads to comment in.

It probably wouldn't be too hard to write a script that does that by scraping reddit for links. That way it'd work even after the API changes take effect.

It is feasible, but not easily.

The problem would be when people engaged and then figured it was a bot posting and got no responses back.

Only posts where people feel compelled to comment would maybe work.

But I also see the appeal to get some content going and maybe facilitate the transition since the same things are being debated.

Maybe a way to get things rolling is copying interesting posts and shamelessly re-post them here.

Most of the people here are probably lurkers who aren't used to going out and finding content.

I know I personally had trouble thinking what can I contribute and I'm now actively focusing on a few areas where I can get new content and bring it to lemmy.
