RedditLemmyImporter VS instances

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).

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

Mastodon

A good way to find an instance that works for you is the site: Mastodon instances https://instances.social/

Firstly, you can start by searching for instances of interest here.

The latter. Source is at https://github.com/gallizoltan/usercount which states:

> A bot which counts users from all instances listed at https://instances.social then posts statistics to Mastodon.

> User Count Bot for all known Mastodon instances

For those on the fence, but know more about how instances work, this resource may help you pick a relevant one. There is also this Github resource that enlists all academia-based instances.

I used this site for finding specialized Mastodon servers. I used a variety of search string and did not find any Mastodon servers specialized to Indigenous People's concerns.

Go to this place to find a place to sign up: https://instances.social/

Find and join communities in Reddit alternatives. Here's a list of Mastodon communities, and here's an online tool to find and parse through the different Mastodon communities. This is a list of popular Lemmy servers. However, do keep an eye out as some existing subreddit's moderators may create new communities on these sites.
