        I’m thinking of doing the same. I was a power user in some niche communities, hopefully I can convince some friends to move over.

        Make sure to keep doublechecking if your posts are actually gone. A bunch of people are noting that they edited their posts to delete their data but now the posts are back. Reddit seems to be rolling back the content their losing.
