One thing that annoyed me about moving to Lemmy was that I’d lose my subreddits and that looking for and joining communities on Lemmy would be tedious. So (logically) I spent 2 days writing a script, that gets a list of your subreddits from your reddit account and looks for communities with the same name on Lemmy. It also joins those communites. So all you have to do is download, enter your credentials and you’re done.

    Windows users: fwiw, i didn’t want to go deal with Python and Chromium in Windows, so I tried to do this in WSL (v1) and gave up. Probably easily done in WSL v2, or with just using the Windows versions of everything.

      Yeah, probably. I just try to make stuff cross-platform when it’s not something that’s probably only used on windows machines. Plus I’m trying to get better at python

        sure, just wanted to let anyone who might want to try to do the same thing i tried know, that it’s probably not worth trying to do with WSL1 in Windows, wasn’t like slamming it or making a feature request or anything, sorry if that wasn’t clear :D
