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.

    That is fair, and I agree the ghost-account/comment mirroring approach is bad.

    This is intentionally narrower: it only posts through the user’s own Lemmy account, only for content they choose/configure, with review before publishing by default. It does not mirror commenters, create fake accounts, or copy discussions.

    The goal is not to flood Lemmy, but to make it easier for people who already write useful posts on Reddit to start publishing them on Lemmy instead while also ensuring people that only comment at least can comment on some lemmy posts. sometimes lemmy communities are just dead - no content, no nothing. at least lets have content.
