    Somebody should make an app that uses the anonymous Reddit JSON API to copy the popular Reddit posts and post them over here.

      There’s an instance that does that. I don’t remember what it was called, but I ended up blocking the bot because it provided no real value.

      There are already some bots that essentially do that (perhaps not with that particular approach). Unfortunately, I think it has the opposite intended effect: organic growth doesn’t seem to take all that well.
