Is there an easy way to bring all my old technical posts from Reddit to Lemmy? (lemmy.world)

I have contributed to a ton of (free) information that was helpful and didn't have the heart to delete all my posts that I spent days/months doing. Is there an easy way to bring all those over here?

Make a GDPR data request to reddit. You'll get all your comments and posts and a ton of other stuff in CSV format.

Then the hand-wavy part: use the Lemmy API and write a utility to post things.

But definitely get your data.

Just requested it. The link for it is here.

I should do this. I don't have a whole lot, but I might archive some stuff I posted on lemmy somewhere.

I just got my data request email! It came in after I deleted my account and one of the files stated that lol.
