My reddit web viewer still works! Story: When reddit killed 3rd party apps, I uploaded a web viewer I have been using for myself to Github pages for everyone to use...

rdx - A Lightweight mobile Web Viewer for Reddit

https://rdx.overdevs.com/

rdx is a fast, lightweight mobile Web Viewer for Reddit. Reader for reddit.

I posted about that here and forgot < https://lemmy.world/post/896361> but today when I checked cloudflare analytics it showed about 1000 pageviews in last 24 hours. Looks like some people are using it so just wanted to let you guys know that it works, no ads. no popups nothing.

I was curious about this kind of idea. Isn't all reddit content owned by reddit, and isnt pasting their intellectual property onto a different platform not really super legal? (I fully support it)

Being able to extract all of the question/answer threads on reddit to boost the value of lemmy from a search index perspective seemed too good to be true as a solution.

Maybe too good to be true, but I'll ride that train to the end of the line! As for comments, it's not possible, and anyway, I think it's better to start our own conversations here.

I was wondering if it was possible to write a script to scrape reddit posts, and then ask chatgpt to say the same thing slightly differently and output the post/comments in a csv format and then use that to create a lemmy posting bot. Idk if chatgpt has api access like that though, and what agreements would prohibit this.

Unless Reddit's TOS is vastly different from other social media sites, you keep ownership of your content and give them a perpetual license to host it on their site. That way, if you post something illegal, it's still your problem and not theirs.

That being said, copying non-link content is technically copyright infringement from the original poster. It'll probably never amount to anything.
