RedditLemmyImporter VS lemmy-js-client

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?

Speaking of which, here's a library that requires your entire app to be AGPLv3: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client

That said, the issue apparently is https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client/issues/194, so I'll have to debug that…

Idk much about Lemmy but looking at the source they do have an API defined. Unfortunately I don’t know rust so I can’t make much use of it in terms of modding. But looking at the endpoints it seems to have (most?) everything the Reddit API exposes. There’s also a fully typed TS client

Hey, I've been using javascript for a while now and I haven't gotten into typescript land just yet. I want to try running some simple code from https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client , but I'm seemingly missing something fundamental here.

We don't have any automated cross-posting, you'll have to do it manually for now. We do have an open API, and a javascript client: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-js-client tho.
