There’s quite a few communities that i’m missing on Lemmy.
It could potentially lead to a trial, and/or “save” Lemmy, so it seemed worth asking, just in case.

The question is unclear. What are you proposing to do? Everything that anyone posts here is already publicly available.
An instance would simply post(, or create a community for each large or interesting-enough subreddits that doesn’t already exist here,) every day all the posts from the last 24 hours, with the same title and the same picture. A simple bot should be able to do the trick without accessing the a.p.i.(, or even so by paying less than a personal app since it would be a single “person”(bot) making the calls one time per day ; in any case, most likely not a technical problem).
If it’s open and automated to such an extent then it may bring trouble, but if such content is free to be stolen then it should perhaps be done i suppose(, even if reddit won’t like it, especially if it’s before their first public offering, but probably afterwards as well).
There were instances doing exactly that. I don’t know if they’re still around because I blocked them as soon as they started showing up my feed. Most people absolutely hated them because it’s basically just spam.
Do you remember their names ?
If people loved the content on reddit then they would continue to love it on Lemmy, it’d be the same posts, not anymore of a spam here than there, that’s not a decisive counter-argument for me but thanks for the reply :)
