A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Be mildly competent at computers... or know someone who is and willing to help you.

Either setup your own instance, or find an instance that's already setup that you like and the owner will let you add stuff to the database...

Start a community...

Read here... https://github.com/rileynull/RedditLemmyImporter

Success! now you've migrated your subreddit to lemmy!

(This is a little sarcastic. I'm not good at legit guides. But it is possible!)

Edit: tweaked phrasing... doing this to general public servers would be unlikely.

Just wanted to add that not all instances are allowing new community creation, including Beehaw.

Yeah, there's an edit. Seems not to have propagated back to beehaw. yay for beta!

Well, that is an interesting script. I wonder how many will come across? Maybe they will pull the top 20% or something.
