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.

flashbacks from three years ago when I started !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io and manually reposted all 400 of /r/FloatingIsFun’s posts there as fast as I could
Most communities do not need reposts from Reddit. I did because the collection as a whole is important to me, and because my subreddit contained things that would become lost media if the subreddit gets banned.
If you decide to mass repost a bunch of Reddit stuff, get it all done quickly after creating your community here. This keeps your spam off people’s Subscribed feeds, but even that won’t save the All feed users. I had people wanting to block my community due to a Fedia time zone mix-up putting all of my posts on Lemmy’s front page.
Please repost responsibly.
