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).

    I would suggest that any scraping should either also link back or post a comment linking to the new community, ideally we attract as opposed to just copy

      Yeah that’s definitely what I want, anything cloned over here would ideally have both author attribution and a direct link to the original Reddit post at the very top of each post.
