If you don’t want to start from scratch you could fork something actively maintained that uses the reddit API already, like tootbot, so that you only need to implement the Lemmy side.
i believe they typically run as a service on a computer, monitoring the subreddit via the reddit api, the when it finds new stuff, it posts it onto lemmy.
Can it be done, 100% yes.
There is probably a rss reddit bot.
Here’s a lemmy rss; https://lemmy.ml/feeds/c/antiwork.xml?sort=Active
Or you’d have to commission someone. I got name, but no idea what price he charges.
If you get it setup, ping me! I would want to set some up too.
Lemmy has an API and Reddit has an API, so, what you want shouldn’t be too difficult.

It’s possible
I want to know how such a bot can be deployed.

I am yet to see an implementation of this between Lemmy and Reddit. That does not help.
