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.

    Sure, but there’s an option to do it smoothly. Just double post.

    Twitter doesn’t have exclusive rights to your content. If you make it available in more places, people will start to have the option to use other places without losing much or any of their content.

    The users won’t go because the content won’t go. The content won’t go because the users won’t go. There’s an easy fix for this, and it only takes a very slight amount of effort. Things like this extension help.

      Don’t bother bringing up viewership drops, or how little of an audience they’ll have.

      Still brings it up

      Damn, too bad all those nazi enablers are still using the nazi platform, otherwise the nazi platform supporting content creator would definitely switch!
