I'm fine with starting over. My subscribed subreddits list was cluttered with useless subscribtions I never looked at. Now I can actually start a subscribtions list that is usefull.... ah shit, I ain't fooling myself. It's gonna end up the same, but I'm fine with that.
Very nice. I tried it out, and many of my subreddits are not here yet. But I also found many I hadn't found. So it gives you ideas about what is missing too. Thanks.
Wow! Didn't know this. Thanks!!!
Over a decade on Reddit makes this a multi-day slog. It looks quite useful, but I've spent the last month moving into Lemmy. I'm using the same strategy here that I used there: search for the basics, subscribe, read, and if anything interesting mentions another community, subscribe on the fly. (Of course this strategy is probably why looking at Wefwef's migration is overwhelming.)
TL;DR: ADHD makes some things a challenge.
Same. I’m ‘all-in’ when it comes to Lemmy, but I only subscribed to a dozen subreddits I remember enjoying, and that’s it. Now I simply either sub to a new Com when I stumble upon it, or search for it after remembering a specific subreddit.
I’d rather leave Apollo/Reddit behind 🤷♂️
Nooo, I wasted so much time yesterday importing subreddits manually. But still thanks for sharing.
I wish I knew about this before deleting my old reddit account…

This is great, thanks for sharing. So is the intention to manually sub to any you want?
Yep
Where do I find the tool and how do I use it? I can’t seem to find my way to the JSON file hidden on my phone in Apollo.
Tried it out, mostly found some dead communities with a few subscribers at best
The subscription number refers to how many people from your instance have subscribed, so if you’re on a small instance, or it’s a niche topic it can be misleading. You’re right though, there are definitely plenty of dead/empty communities around.
On the macOS beta it can add to Dock then appear as an app. i'm using it now.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
