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.

Honestly one of the worst things about Lemmy is the reddit-reposting bots. It floods the fediverse with posts that disincentivize participation (most people don’t want to post a reply to a bot)
I honestly dont see much flooding. most subreddits either dont exist at all or have no content. this is primary reason people go back to reddit
Most repost bots don’t last long because bot posts kind of aren’t content. Forum sites like reddit and Lemmy are great for the comment section and bots don’t interact. I see the appeal of user who wants to post THEIR stuff to both sites but even then, it kinda feels like reddit gets the content and Lemmy gets the scraps.
I don’t mean this as a put down. This thing is better than anything I’ve ever made. I’m just concerned after seeing it happen countless times here. I’m kind of against automated posting in general because it takes the humanity from the internet
