Has anyone made or found a script to scrape a subreddit and import it to a Lemmy community? There are a handful of smaller subs that I’d like to mirror over to my instance (with author attribution) but haven’t found anything that works yet. https://github.com/rileynull/RedditLemmyImporter looks promising but links to a non-functioning Python script (tries to use Pushshift, which isn’t working at the moment).

    The LemmyImporter repo expects you to already have all your post data in a json file- it has a link in the readme to a Lemmygrad.ml comment with a Python script. Seems like it would do exactly what I want, if Pushshift was working. I may be able to fiddle with it enough over the weekend to hit Reddit directly, though.

      Oh right. Apologies, did a classic and skipped the readme! 10 minutes documentation 10 hours something or other 😆
