RedditLemmyImporter VS Slide

There is https://github.com/rileynull/RedditLemmyImporter if someone wants to help us move to /c/libgen

For https://github.com/rileynull/RedditLemmyImporter it needs a Lemmy instance, and an API key for which https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/16160319875092-Reddit-Data-API-Wiki

Actually there are a few such as RedditLemmyImporter by rileynulll.

The issue is - how? I've seen that there have been tools created to back up subreddits to Lemmy, but these rely on having access to the instance database in order to effectively "seed" it; that's not possible for me as a moderator/user.

Currently, the RedditLemmyImporter tool is the best tool for migrating your subreddits away from Reddit. I'm not sure how many moderators are willing to go through the hassle of installing and running this script to migrate their communities. But I'm here to inform you that the tool does exist. If you're facing any technical difficulties with the tool, I think r/LemmyMigration, r/DataHoarder or the Github Issues page will provide the most technical support. I do apologise for the lack of documentation on the Github page though (its not my script).

For literally migrating posts and comments over to Lemmy: https://github.com/rileynull/RedditLemmyImporter

Haven't tried it, but this comment on /r/DataHoarder mentioned these two repos:

https://github.com/rileynull/RedditLemmyImporter might be what you are looking for?

Thank you kind stranger! I opened https://github.com/Haptic-Apps/Slide/issues/3485 with slightly different instructions (shaved off a couple of steps). For example Step 1 can be skipped by doing clone from repo in step 4.

TIL that Slide is also open source: https://github.com/Haptic-Apps/Slide

So long Slide and Infinity, ill see you again in the Fediverse

I didn't actually hear that they were doing API changes? I use Slide, so I guess for me one day in the future Reddit will just stop working.

Slide: intended for everyone, but Its lead developer was immediately open to addressing accessibility concerns, during the beta process, and u/MostlyBlindGamer was able to contribute several fixes for the TalkBack screen reader.

Which would be good open source 3rd party apps to test with? I found a couple of mobile apps, like https://github.com/Docile-Alligator/Infinity-For-Reddit and https://github.com/Haptic-Apps/Slide

FYI, Infinity and Slide are solid reddit apps and both open-source. I still prefer RIF, but in case your wish doesn't come true there are already at least two pretty good options.

I used to use Slide. Switched to Infinity after seeing it promoted on F-Droid. Both are great (with a preference for Infinity) and I will stop using reddit on mobile because I refuse to use their mobile app.

This project will be on indefinite hiatus for the foreseeable future, and may not be maintained. Updates are not guaranteed. See here for details.
