I just think the mass deletion of content is such a loss for the internet as a whole. I wish instead of people supporting deleting Reddit comments, there was a way for individuals to upload a history of their comments onto a Lemmy instance. I just think deleting all of your reddit contribution is a massive loss for the Internet, regardless of the significance of the contribution.
I would be really happy to learn if this is a viable option
This tool, that I’ve not used yet, allows you to export your content, then edit it, then delete it.

I’ve read that a deleted comment can be restored but an edit first wipes out the backup. Use at your own pace.
This is exactly what I am doing. Saved all my comments and posts with a script, now slowly reposting my own original content into the fediverse.
There are a lot of guides on how to do this in the RedditMigration magazine on kbin.social
Doesn't mean much without the context.
Totally agree. Would be so nice if there was a way to mirror our Reddit past into the fediverse.
I have my Reddit GDPR export and could upload it somewhere, but it's almost entirely meaningless without context. I think there were some threads on r/DataHoarder about grabbing context as well, shortly before blackouts.
I thought about using one of the shredder utilities to edit my comments and mention where they could be found, but a lot of subreddits apparently watch for that kind of thing and remove comments with links.
