And saw a bunch of posts about the third party apps closing down, and lots of negativity about that whole fiasco.
… And I realized I hadn’t been there for a week… And frankly didn’t miss it. I am really loving the beehaw (and Lemmy as a whole) community. Thanks for being open, welcoming, responsive, engaging, and just generally nice people. I’m happy to be here. :)
I just deleted my account which was over 10 years old. I don’t need that kind of negativity. Only positivity from here on out. Keep being awesome Lemmy.
I probably won’t delete my reddit account until the subreddits that I’m relatively active in gain a bigger presence on Lemmy, but if that happens, bye bye reddit.
11 year old account here, I’m getting ready to pull the trigger. So much time spent on niche subs that will be hard to replace, but I suppose that means I should be more active in any similar counterparts on Lemmy to help them grow and flourish.
What’s keeping you from creating those niche communities here? As long as it’s still a manageably small community here, moderating it wouldn’t be much of a hassle.
Go for it!
16-year-old account for me. I probably won’t delete it, because it doesn’t do me any good to do that, but I’m not really showing up anymore. Especially after I have to delete Apollo.
I don’t have that fortitude yet, haha. My account is from 2007. Have my little Colbert Rally badge on it from a goofier, tighter-knit time on Reddit. Feels more like a monument than a home now, though.
You can request all of your Reddit data somewhere in the settings if that would help``
I’m currently looking for this, and I don’t think Reddit has a feature that’s what this sounds like. On Facebook you can download all your data, photos, posts, comments, in one big pile. Closest thing I can find on Reddit (which only came up when I googled it externally) is a form you can submit to request what data Reddit has “about” your account. And they request 30 days processing time.
You can use the 3rd party scripts that are usually for mass editing/deleting to save all your comments/posts, I think, and without editing/deleting if you don’t want to. Like Power Delete Suite and Redact. But that doesn’t save other peoples’ replies, or the post you made a comment on, so far as I know.
They don’t work for frequent posters. I could only save my top 600? comments, 1000 most recent comments, and 600? most controversial comments, which is only maybe 10% of what I’ve written.
Realistically, that’s plenty, though. I don’t need a museum of everything I’ve written on the site, but I can open it up if I’m ever nostalgic for it.
Just speed ran an account to 125k karma in 3 months because I like numbers, but the site is dross now, any individual thoughts are downvoted. It’s just one big circlejerk
lol. You talk about how you game the system to speedrun big numbers for imaginery points. Then complain that reddit isn’t what it was and theres no individual thoughts. … Do you not see the irony of that comment?
Not only do I see it, I feel it.
Thats true, mean if somethings just constantly giving you grief rather than any enjoyment then how much good is it really to be using it? Lifes already enough of a pain lol
