Is there an easy way to bring all my old technical posts from Reddit to Lemmy? (lemmy.world)

I have contributed to a ton of (free) information that was helpful and didn't have the heart to delete all my posts that I spent days/months doing. Is there an easy way to bring all those over here?

They are across from multiple subs. From obscure 3D printers to steps to bring pets to Taiwan, there has been over 12 years' worth of my time spent there.

Well, you could ask the lemmy repost bot to make reposts of all of the subs you've posted here, on Lemmy, but ot only takes posts from today and maybe a few days back, reposts them here, and than just carries on reposting from that point on. It doesn't actually repost retroactively.

Though you could probably speak to the dev that actually runs that instance, maybe he can make a bot mod that does the same, but with users and does it retroactively. It's worth a shot IMO 🤷.
