What? It was the easiest move I've ever made. Deleted a 13+ year old account. I'm loving it here. Fuck Reddit.
I didn’t want to leave any of my content behind, because deleting your account still leaves all your content up. That took a while because I had to fix some bugs in an OSS tool so I wouldn’t need to delete tens of thousands of posts and comments by hand. The script took days to run with a 2s rate limit.
IMO, it’s pretty creepy that they try to keep your content when you request a GDPR deletion. That stuff could contain pii and they should be required to delete it, too.
I haven’t been back since. No Apollo is as good as no Reddit, as far as I’m concerned.
Really? I’m struggling to find good communities. Seems like mostly old memes and political articles. Any recommendations?
I sold my accounts after I deleted 99% of my comments manually. Got $1400 for 3 accounts that were 10+ years old with 20,000 or so karma. Even lurker accounts are worth money if they're old enough
As someone who also moved over from Reddit but has not deleted their account, I also find it hard to find good communities that are not meme or porn.
Throw on a decent client like connect,wefwef (now Voyager), or sync/boost(soon).
Change your feed to all in the fediverse.
Change the sort to hot or top.
Go exploring on the communities that post and see if you like them. There's a lot of similar communities here like there was on Reddit, such as programming, Android, aww, dogs, world, no stupid question, ask lemmy, etc.. You can hide the nsfw and block the porn community or just block the porn instance entirely.
It takes some poking around, but the committee you like are there most likely.
I find that hard to believe. lemmy right now is worse than reddit ever was
I see.
