One thing that annoyed me about moving to Lemmy was that I'd lose my subreddits and that looking for and joining communities on Lemmy would be tedious. So (logically) I spent 2 days writing a script, that gets a list of your subreddits from your reddit account and looks for communities with the same name on Lemmy. It also joins those communites. So all you have to do is download, enter your credentials and you're done.

I don't have my Reddit accounts anymore but I did backup a list of subs. Can I use that list with your tool?

Yes!

  • in the script comment out or delete lines 252-256
  • overwrite line 267 like this:

subs = ['subreddit1','subreddit2',etc]

  • run the script.

Should work. If you have questions or issues, let me know
