Rhaedas@kbin.socialtoFree and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•I created a new migration tool for Reddit users moving to Lemmy!

1 year agoThis isn’t really about the tool but the general idea of what to move. Like many I don’t feel most of my posts alone were that valuable, but what was lost was the chain of conversation that they were part of. I had requested and received my data from Reddit after a while and looking through it I realized this. I suppose I could weed through the Excel file (!!) and grab longer comments that I’ve made in ten years of discussion, and it’s always there to search if a memory is sparked, but I see no personal reason to dump it somewhere else.
I guess this is more a caution to not use a tool to mass spam just because you can. Not all posts are worth repetition, especially out of context.
There is a solution.
