One thing that annoyed me about moving to Lemmy was that I’d lose my subreddits and that looking for and joining communities on Lemmy would be tedious. So (logically) I spent 2 days writing a script, that gets a list of your subreddits from your reddit account and looks for communities with the same name on Lemmy. It also joins those communites. So all you have to do is download, enter your credentials and you’re done.
First off, thank you for your work on this!
So I’m trying this out in WSL2 and I managed to get the script to run… but I have TOTP enabled on my reddit account. Any chance this could support MFA? I’m using the correct username and password I get “Incorrect username or password” so I’m sure it’s the TOTP requirement not being met.
Yeah, totp isn’t supported. Two workarounds, both of which include some work on your side:
Let me know if you have questions or issues
Thank you again for going to the trouble of making this workaround.
I went with Option 1 and I got an error “Error joining Lemmy communities.” So I ran the script with the DEBUG option and I saw that after a few (can’t remember how many) searches the site started responding with a rate limit error for the rest of the searches.
That’s odd. Haven’t gotten a rate limit error from lemmy before.
