Lemmy Deep Lighthouse
I built a Firefox extension to help people bring their own Reddit posts over to Lemmy.
It lets you map subreddits you post in to Lemmy communities, review queued posts before publishing, and post through your own Lemmy account. Settings and credentials stay in your browser; there is no hosted service.
This is intended for republishing your own work, not scraping or reposting other people’s content. The goal is to make moving from Reddit to Lemmy less tedious while keeping authors in control.

This is what I advocate for with Twitter. I understand creators can’t just up and move to mastodon, but they absolutely can just double post to allow others to move first.
But they can though.
They choose not to.
Don’t bother bringing up viewership drops, or how little of an audience they’ll have.
They HAVE THE OPTION.
They just want to help a nazi platform continue limping along if it means more money FAR more than they want a better world.
Sure, but there’s an option to do it smoothly. Just double post.
Twitter doesn’t have exclusive rights to your content. If you make it available in more places, people will start to have the option to use other places without losing much or any of their content.
The users won’t go because the content won’t go. The content won’t go because the users won’t go. There’s an easy fix for this, and it only takes a very slight amount of effort. Things like this extension help.
Damn, too bad all those nazi enablers are still using the nazi platform, otherwise the nazi platform supporting content creator would definitely switch!
