As a 10+ year Reddit user, I recently made the jump here to Lemmy and was hoping to re-join some of the old groups. Is there a running list somewhere of all the groups on here that started as subreddits?

What’s the right term for them, anyway? Group? Sublemmy? Community?

    There was a tool being promoted a couple of days ago that sounded like it would help port your Reddit account over to lemmy by (I’m assuming) looking for identically named communities and subscribing to them. I went scorched earth on Reddit and deleted my comments and accounts, so I didn’t look at it beyond thinking it was a good idea.

    I wish I could remember what it was called, but knowing that it’s out there might help you to track it down.

      Thanks! If you happen to remember, let me know.

      I thought about nuking my account, but I have some good info for some niche shit on there that could be helpful to people (but also stuff I can quickly find and reference when needed).

      I’m gonna keep my account live, but cut way back on its usage.

      Also, hail yourself! 🤘🏻

        It might have been https://sub.rehab that was mentioned (you can migrate using their Settings page apparently). Their FAQ also mentions alternative sites (mostly just big static lists by the look of it).

        Or it could have been an app - Voyager for instance will take a big list of your subscriptions as a MultiReddit and sub you to Communities with the same name.

        All of my accounts were banned recently, so I’m here for good, but would really like to find similar communities. The lemmy concept I’m using is a mobile version called connect since I don’t use the computer basically ever. I’m hoping to learn more as I go.
