Sbubby - Eef Freef!
Sbubbies are images in which the text of a logo has been cleanly edited to read something different.
We've altered our ruleset a bit from the subreddit, and these may change at short notice as we acclimate to Lemmy.
Rules:
- Be respectful of your fellow users. Be civil towards others, even if you disagree with them. Hate speech of any kind is not tolerated, including, but not limited to: racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, and transphobia.
- All Sbubbies must be edits to the text of logos. A logo is a visually unique set of iconography that represents a specific product, organization, or group, with unique and distinctive fonts and styling. Edits which change the text of things that aren't logos (i.e. street signs, text on product packaging that doesn't edit the logo itself, BSODs, etc.) don't count, and neither do edits to logos which do not change any text.
- All Sbubbies must be cleanly edited. It must resemble the original logo as close as reasonably possible. It doesn't necessarily need to be absolutely pixel-perfect, but it should hold up to a brief visual inspection at the standard zoom level.
- Relevant titles: We will not be enforcing this to the degree that we did on the subreddit, but try to avoid low-effort, non-descriptive titles such as "My first Sbubby," "I made this," "Credit to <...>," "Found in the wild," or "Title."
- Reposts: Try not to repost images that have already been on the Sbubby Lemmy instance. We are allowing reposts from the Sbubby subreddit, but if it's not your own OC, please give credit to the original creator in either the title or a comment if at all possible. This rule will likely be relatively lightly enforced for a while, as we adjust to the new platform.
- Compilations: Any compilations of edits should have some sort of connection or central theme, and preferably your own OC, but other users' content can be included as long as all of it is credited.
- On that note, if you want to port over your content from the subreddit, you can create one big compilation if you'd like, but we recommend spacing out individual posts over time. It should help us maintain a consistent stream of content while we build our userbase. Don't spam a bunch of individual posts over a short period, though - probably no more than 3 posts per day.
- Banned topics: "Oops, all X," Bepis variants, REEEEE, loss.jpg, anything from the banned repost album, unless you were the original creator of a banned repost album image, in which case, contact us first.

I've been on Reddit since 2012. I don't believe I used any app other than RiF during that whole time. Currently using Power Delete Suite to wipe my account then I plan to delete. I've found quite a better home over here on Lemmy anyways. Wish I had known of this place sooner.
Check back occasionally to verify your comments remain deleted. While I've not had it happen to my main, others have reported their comments seem to return soon after doing a purge.
I thought my deleted comments were getting restored by reddit, but it just turns out that you can't delete comments from private subreddits. So I initially deleted everything during the 2 day blackout, then a few days later when things started opening up again, I saw a ton of comments still on my account, so I just assumed reddit had been restoring them.
I did advertising to Lemmy and got my first ban ever. Dw it's fine, I didn't even do it in a very toxic way.
I just mentioned a bunch people where comming here
Hahaha I don't even have to try to advertise, all I have to do is post and I'm instantly banned.... I think I hurt a mods feeling by making AITA_Mods_are_incels as an alt user name.
Reddit is such a great source of information though-- especially when I'm looking for user feedback, instructions, or human opinions. It's a shame that many posts are going to get deleted in the following weeks (especially in the tech sphere since most people quitting Reddit are going to be techies)
That's why you should delete the comments/posts though. Because you make it less desirable to advertisers by making it less convenient to "just add Reddit" after a Google search.
From what I heard, there is another website that 'scrapes' Reddit for the information, so in theory that information should not be lost.
Which website? Unless you mean the Internet Archive?
Shredders going back at least five years have been editing comments and replacing them with placeholder text prior to deleting, on the assumption they might only be retaining the final version before deletion.
What I've been doing in cleaning up is, I first edit everything to be scrambled garbage, and then I delete it later. Most devs forget editing stuff is possible, so they won't restore it in the heat of the moment until the logs are burried
I'll second the "Wish I learned about Lemmy sooner" bit. Just feels so much better.
Have a nice day, fellow reddit refugee!
Same story for me too. I've used Reddit since 2012 while only using RiF. The Jerboa app on Android is pretty similar, I've been using it for a while and have been quite liking it.
Although instead of deleting everything, I edited all my comments to be multiple pages of lorem ipsum placeholder text to mess with the AI crawlers that Reddit profits off.
