EDIT: The script has been updated a few times. It now has new features. You should check it out again, even if you already have.

exactly what is says on the can. put in the multireddit URL of all your subs (explained in script), get a list of lemmy communities of the same name.

How do I know tp trust this?

[–] H3wastooshort@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

technically you can't trust me, but the code is right there and should be easy enough to understand so that you can verify im not doing anything shady. otherwise "trust me bro"

[–] eatham@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago

Ok. I'll check it out later

I find it good that you doubt and ask.

My answer (like OP's one) is: You do not need to trust (blindly like for closed-source or platforms). The script is FOSS, you can check every step it does, before you use it. One of the biggest benefits of FOSS :)

Always a good question to ask, but this script is very simple and I can confidently tell you that as it is right now, it's completely safe

Thanks for sharing , this is a nice script :)

[–] H3wastooshort@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Quick question, just Lemmy?

[–] H3wastooshort@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah, im using the lemmy community list from browse.feddit.de

I would recommend making a full git repository and at least adding a license header so that others can expand upon it. Maintaining a useful gist is cumbersome as issues tend to be ignored comments.

that's really cool, thanks!

For tech zeroes like me, this is what I did:

Install Python
Download ZIP (top-right corner of the linked Github file)
Extract the .py file from the ZIP
Double-click the .py file
