What are our feelings on mirrored Reddit content?

Mirroring comments sounds awful and not worth engaging with.
Linking to Reddit also seems like a bad idea. If I wanted to engage with Reddit, I'd be on Reddit.
Cross-posting links that were popular on Reddit into relevant communities here seems like a fine idea, though. I DO want quality links here, and for discussion to grow organically around those links here, on Lemmy. For example, a community like !ebookdeals@literature.cafe is built around links. If there's a similar active community on Reddit, I would indeed appreciate it if someone cross-posted the good deals here.
I think there is value in users cross-posting from Reddit, but bots doing it indiscriminately seems spammy, and could well destroy a community.
