I made a tool that transfers your reddit subscriptions to lemmy, thought maybe you all might be interested (github.com)

One thing that annoyed me about moving to Lemmy was that I'd lose my subreddits and that looking for and joining communities on Lemmy would be tedious. So (logically) I spent 2 days writing a script, that gets a list of your subreddits from your reddit account and looks for communities with the same name on Lemmy. It also joins those communites. So all you have to do is download, enter your credentials and you're done.

Can this be used with an kbin account too?

[–] induna_crewneck@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It would need to be edited a bit, but overall it should. The main issue I think are the selectors for the login fields on kbin. Might try to implement it when I get some more time

There's at least a second person who would appreciate it (me)!

Added a variation of the script that works with kbin :)

I would have been another kbin user interested, but I already unsubbed from all but a couple reddit subs. Nice contribution though!

Not normal. Haven't seen that one, yet either. Do you know how to redirect the output to a file and send that to me? (make sure to delete your login data before you do). If you don't know, let me know and also tell me what operating system you're using

Unfortunately i don't know, Windows 11.
