EDIT: The script has been updated a few times. It now has new features. You should check it out again, even if you already have.

exactly what is says on the can. put in the multireddit URL of all your subs (explained in script), get a list of lemmy communities of the same name.

you are viewing a single comment's thread

One feature request from my side. Can you store the result from reddit in a text file and read from there? This way I could achieve two things

  1. I can export the data from reddit and then delete the account.
  2. In case some communities are not Already established, I can rerun the script in a couple of weeks to add newly created communities

Great tool, thanks for posting it!

you can also export everything (posts,comments,etc) on reddit via the GPDR data export (assuming its available where you are, idk if its only in the EU)

i will be adding the save-file now

oh yeah, you could also just paste the multireddit URL into a text file as a backup for now. that would do it. there is nothing fancy or time-sensitive in it, literally just the sub-names

save-file has been implemented
