Is it okay to essentially copy a subreddit to lemmy? - sh.itjust.works

I want to add a community that is essentially the Lemmy version of an existing subreddit (r/mcmansionhell). Is this allowed?

Okay, thanks everyone!

WE'RE IN BABY!!!

(Banner from McMansionHell.com [https://mcmansionhell.com/] ) (Please set language to English when posting AND commenting!) A Community about large, cheaply built, suburban homes with design flaws and a lack of architectural integrity also known as “McMansions.” On Thursdays we celebrate the opposite: good suburban architectural design. Based off the famous subreddit r/mcmansionhell, we will essentially do all the same here, as is over there. Please do your best and crosspost if you need too! We need mods!! Please please help! A Short Guide [https://sh.itjust.works/post/119336] Friends at c/badrealestate [https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]]! Here are the rules: 1. Posts can be about ugly houses in general 2. Post appropriately and with correct tags WITHIN the title so it is easy to search. –>Tags: “Thursday Design Appreciation” or “HouseTDA”, “Just Ugly”, “Shitpost”, “Certified McMansion™”, “Discussion/Debate”, and “Interior” are available. 3. All post subjects must be single family homes –>Only post suburban, single family homes. No apartments or duplexes, etc. The community is focused on specifically traditional suburban architecture. 4. Don’t post addresses or other easily identifiable information unless it is publicly listed. –>Keep the information about the property you are posting basic and general. However, if the home is listed on a public website you are permitted to post a link to the public listing. 5. Direct Images Only, no links please. –>Post correctly cropped, direct images and not links to websites. Image hosting links, such as Imgur, are an exception, but we still prefer a direct image. Zillow house page, for example, is ok if it directly links to the photos and such. 6. No Spam –>No posting an excessive amount in a row on the same day or posting the same comment on several posts at once. We have seen it, we just didn’t react to it. Please understand that. 7. No Screenshots –>Crop your photos correctly. 8. Thursday is special. To celebrate that, you can post nice houses you appreciate.

So is there a way to view this on kbin or do I always have to view it on sh.itjust.works?

https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]

This should work after searching the URL straight from kbin... but searching it right now gives me a 500 Server error. Seems like it's having technical issues.

I think It's because someone from Kbin needs to subscribe to it first. I just did that and the link works now. Though federation doesn't work retroactively, so the existing posts aren't showing up.
I've been getting 500s all day so it's most likely the server not being able to keep up with the Reddit migration
400s errors are server side. 500s errors are your side.

Other way around. 400s are client errors, 500s are server errors.
