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!

❗ Word of warning

Using this tool in beehaw will get you banned for spamming. If you choose to use this in an instance you do not own, be sure you get explicit permission from the admins + mods of the target community before you do so.

Even if a community is meant for this sort of archiving, be sure to ask first. They might have a specific set of rules on choosing what they want to archive.

Please use this tool with care.

Thanks I didn't know that, I'll update the Readme to add this!
