I created a new migration tool for Reddit users moving to Lemmy!

Emerald@lemmy.emerald.show to Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org – 130 points –
GitHub - peterwilli/lemmemovetolemmy: It will send your posts to any given Lemmy Instance or Community
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!

This is a really cool tool if used correctly. It seems much of the concern comes from spam. Forgive me if this is already a feature or planned, but maybe setting a timer per batches of posts might be helpful? That way you could select what you want moved and each x hours/days if copies a set amount of posts over.

It was an idea indeed. Like a daily post per user, or even go as far as to synchronize it across users (so each user has a moment to post a new post). This is interesting, and I'm thinking about how to do it!
