Lemmy Deep Lighthouse

I built a Firefox extension to help people bring their own Reddit posts over to Lemmy.

It lets you map subreddits you post in to Lemmy communities, review queued posts before publishing, and post through your own Lemmy account. Settings and credentials stay in your browser; there is no hosted service.

This is intended for republishing your own work, not scraping or reposting other people’s content. The goal is to make moving from Reddit to Lemmy less tedious while keeping authors in control.

    Absolutely 0 use for this myself, but maybe it’ll help some primarily reddit users make the switch if they can transfer content easier.

    Personally I don’t like seeing recycled reddit stuff, but there ARE some niche communities I don’t have the energy or dedication to keep alive on lemmy… So stuff like that would be nice to see again, and stuff like this make it more likely to happen.
