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!

    This isn’t really about the tool but the general idea of what to move. Like many I don’t feel most of my posts alone were that valuable, but what was lost was the chain of conversation that they were part of. I had requested and received my data from Reddit after a while and looking through it I realized this. I suppose I could weed through the Excel file (!!) and grab longer comments that I’ve made in ten years of discussion, and it’s always there to search if a memory is sparked, but I see no personal reason to dump it somewhere else.

    I guess this is more a caution to not use a tool to mass spam just because you can. Not all posts are worth repetition, especially out of context.

      I totally agree, I just wanted to keep my posts because they mean a lot to me, I used it on my own community which at the time was empty as I just moved to lemmy.

      I was a bit excited after making this, and will update the Readme with a word of warning!
