This is a focused personal migration tool with a practical local-first design, but its recent inactivity and highly concentrated contributor activity call for a measured approach.
Good fit if
- You need to transfer the specific Reddit data types it supports and can follow Reddit's API requirements.
- You want a browser-based workflow that runs locally, with OAuth or cookie authentication.
- You are comfortable with a Go 1.21 application and an MIT-licensed project whose latest release is recent, despite no commits in the last 90 days.
Look elsewhere if
- You need ongoing development or responsive issue handling: there have been no commits or issue closures in the last 90 days.
- You need a project with broadly distributed maintenance, since most code contributions come from one person among three contributors.
- You need migration beyond the listed Reddit data types or a service that does not require you to handle sensitive account credentials.

Overview
reddit-migrate is a local web app that transfers selected data from one Reddit account to another. It addresses the manual work of rebuilding subscriptions and saved collections when changing accounts, and can also export account data as JSON.
It supports OAuth and cookie-based authentication. The project is intended for personal use with your own Reddit API credentials, and its interface runs in your browser while the application runs on your computer.
Key Features
- Transfer subreddit subscriptions, saved posts, and saved comments.
- Recreate multireddits, including their subreddit groupings.
- Transfer followed users.
- Select all, specific, or none of each supported data type.
- Filter out items already present on the destination account.
- Export selected account data to a JSON file.
- Authenticate with Reddit OAuth or cookies.
- Run locally on Windows, macOS, or Linux, or build and run with Docker.
Use Cases
- Reddit users moving to a new account who want to bring their subscriptions and saved collections along.
- People who maintain custom multireddits and want to recreate those groupings on another account.
- Users who want a JSON export of supported Reddit data before making account changes.
- Individuals who prefer to run account migration locally rather than send their data to an external service.

Then open http://localhost:5005. See the README for release downloads, authentication setup, and Docker instructions.
Considerations
The project is marked quiet in the measured health data: it has had no commits in the last 90 days, and no issues were closed during that period. It has had a release within the last year, but most code contributions are concentrated with one contributor. The supplied requirements report no tests.
OAuth credentials and Reddit cookies are sensitive. The README says the app runs locally, but users still need to protect credentials and comply with Reddit's API terms and content policy. Large migrations can take several minutes because of Reddit rate limiting. The project describes itself as intended for personal use and does not claim to migrate data beyond the types listed in its documentation.
