I’m all in on Lemmy
I did the same, and I also cancelled my premium account (I know, I shouldn’t have paid for it in the first place).
There is a sub called r/lounge which is a “reward” for paying for Reddit Premium, and you also get temporary access if your post gets gilded. It’s a pretty inane sub mainly for just idle chatting, but I really noticed the amount of posts in there drop off a cliff in the final week. They hide the subscriber count, so you can’t see how many members there are. But just judging by post activity, I guarantee that it at least cut in half.
you can export first, then delete your reddit comments/posts in a few clicks using : https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite
That’s exactly what I did, with the extra step of editing all comments and posts to “Fuck u/spez”
Music to my ears
I’ve tried a few alternatives since Reddit closed and Lemmy by far feels like the logical replacement. Super simple and I can see how it’ll just grow from here.
If I could access my 15 year old account, if probably do the same. 2FA fucked me over lol
Baconreader or bust!
My cake day is Jan 26. Next year my account will be 10 years old, and it will be its last day, if something really extraordinary happens.
I have really mixed feelings about all this. I don’t support Reddit and it’s stupid choices but deleting comments and such is more of a blow to the community and anyone who needs that past knowledge than it is to Reddit at large.
Searching the internet really sucks these days.
So heads up: I’ve seen comments from some users that their deleted comments on Reddit had been restored. Haven’t personally seen it myself as this is all anecdotal, but if you’ve deleted your comments on Reddit, you might want to go check from time to time.
