It's a numbers game - more people = more posters = more content.
There are bots you can run that would bring over the content from Reddit but you wouldn't want it into a standard community as it leads to a lot of posts flooding the community and you get very little engagement. There are bot instances - I'll have a nose around and see what I can find. There's usually a community mirroring most medium to large sub's.
Also, be the change you want to see - if you find a good article, throw it in here. It's the work of moments.
I get your point on "syncing" too many posts which might cause little engagement. It would be nice to have more than the 2-5 articles that are currently what I'm roughly seeing. I'd like a balance of around 10-15, this would hopefully help with more engagement but not too much!
If you can find anything about the bots then I'll certainly try and help. Even without the bots I'll start to help with content. As I said, I was worried about backlash from just copying the content from Reddit but that doesn't sound like it's an issue.
I can't find a Lemmy not bringing in the UK Politics sub but it looks like you can post a request to: !requests@zerobytes.monster If the bot starts dragging over Reddit posts then you can subscribe that rather than popping back to Reddit.
That's the spirit.
As long as you are linking to the original content and not just back to Reddit, then no-one will care where you found it first - I use a range of things to dig for new news.
