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?

That information is what leads back to reddit and creates new users. And the more obscure the info the higher reddit results will pop up in searches. Search results even put less priority on even forums that contain information in favor of years old reddit results being promoted to the top.

If the goal is to cut off reddit and decrease its influence then deleting is the way forward. It is the one singular act that actually has an impact.
