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!

Nice workaround!

Thanks! I also felt it was the most ethical thing to do. This way you can refer to any comments made to your post, but we don't copy comments over ourselves (which potentially can violate users privacy if they don't want their comments to leave Reddit)
