RedditLemmyImporter VS PRAW

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?

I'm... not sure I understand the question? PRAW still works just fine for "personal use" of the reddit API.

Thank you for pointing out. So there is no need then for the access token? Only with the refresh token is enough? To be honest I took a look at it but I did not expect that to be under authentication as strictly speaking, the user already made the authentication. Also I took a look at the code at https://github.com/praw-dev/praw/blob/master/praw/reddit.py and I did not get a hint whether was possible to pass it or not. I am just saying this to let you know I tried to search for the answer before asking. Again thank you for the help.

To get the relevant IDs, you can use something like PRAW to query the subreddit for the top 1000 posts for example.

Huge thanks to the contributors to PRAW, which is the Python package that does all the heavy lifting relating to Reddit's API that I need for this script.

However, in practice duplicate items were yielded with these smaller numbers. So I increased the limit briefly to 250 in October 2016, and then increased it finally to 301 in December 2016 in order to resolve https://github.com/praw-dev/praw/issues/673. That issue provides an explanation for how 301 came to be.

Why? You gotta be ready for any status code. Even 777.
