EDIT: The script has been updated a few times. It now has new features. You should check it out again, even if you already have.
exactly what is says on the can. put in the multireddit URL of all your subs (explained in script), get a list of lemmy communities of the same name.
I would recommend making a full git repository and at least adding a license header so that others can expand upon it. Maintaining a useful gist is cumbersome as issues tend to be ignored comments.
How do I know tp trust this?
technically you can’t trust me, but the code is right there and should be easy enough to understand so that you can verify im not doing anything shady. otherwise “trust me bro”
Ok. I’ll check it out later
I find it good that you doubt and ask.
My answer (like OP’s one) is: You do not need to trust (blindly like for closed-source or platforms). The script is FOSS, you can check every step it does, before you use it. One of the biggest benefits of FOSS :)
Always a good question to ask, but this script is very simple and I can confidently tell you that as it is right now, it’s completely safe
Quick question, just Lemmy?
Yeah, im using the lemmy community list from browse.feddit.de
Thanks for sharing , this is a nice script :)
that’s really cool, thanks!
For tech zeroes like me, this is what I did:
- Install Python
- Download ZIP (top-right corner of the linked Github file)
- Extract the .py file from the ZIP
- Double-click the .py file
One feature request from my side. Can you store the result from reddit in a text file and read from there? This way I could achieve two things
- I can export the data from reddit and then delete the account.
- In case some communities are not Already established, I can rerun the script in a couple of weeks to add newly created communities
Great tool, thanks for posting it!
you can also export everything (posts,comments,etc) on reddit via the GPDR data export (assuming its available where you are, idk if its only in the EU)
i will be adding the save-file now
oh yeah, you could also just paste the multireddit URL into a text file as a backup for now. that would do it. there is nothing fancy or time-sensitive in it, literally just the sub-names
save-file has been implemented
That was…fast :D
Thanks, I’ll have a look later on.
