An alternative to scraping from is there any deals and friends...

I stumbled upon this and I immediately thought of this channel.

Someone is running a bot that'll scrape a website-that-shall-not-be-named. It'll only mirror threads (not comments) and the author / community seem very passionate to subvert any api limits that the scraped company may impose.

It isn't scraping, just using the RSS feeds. I don't know if those feeds will stop at the end of the month.

I think this might be worth doing as a one-time thing just to set the tone for what a new community is about. Scrape the top voted 200 of all time as a seed.
