I created a new migration tool for Reddit users moving to Lemmy! (github.com)

This tool lets you migrate your own posts from any subreddit to any Lemmy community you want, I made it because I couldn't find anything else that did it the way I wanted to. I'm super happy how it turned out, I managed to get 9 years worth of posts over this way...

The GitHub link shows how to use it in case you want to!

Hm, not too sure how I feel about this. I like it for preserving archival posts and moving community mod posts over, but it has the potential to really spam communities if done en masse by regular non-mod users. Lemmy really has succeeded the most so far at focusing on quality over quantity.

Yeah I agree, but in my case I really wanted my posts to lemmy as I often look back at them and since reddit is now blocking third party apps its basically useless. That's why I wanted to move my posts over!
