Script to clone subreddit to Lemmy? (lemmy.tf)

Has anyone made or found a script to scrape a subreddit and import it to a Lemmy community? There are a handful of smaller subs that I'd like to mirror over to my instance (with author attribution) but haven't found anything that works yet. https://github.com/rileynull/RedditLemmyImporter looks promising but links to a non-functioning Python script (tries to use Pushshift, which isn't working at the moment).

I wrote this the past day, if you feed a single text file with Reddit links on it should work fairly decent https://lemmy.fromshado.ws/post/46

Migrating my own posts on a local instance

Cloning comments and iterating over entire subreddits is coded that too though I'm still not sure if it's a good idea to share that portion or not.
