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.

Let's be realistic. Reddit have years of post and discussion saved who are very useful for research. So the answer is simple, use Reddit as a Wikipedia and Post new content here or on any other free platform. (Well technically new. Some meme i saw here are older than me 😅).
I deleted my Reddit account when I moved to Lemmy, but I do go back to Reddit if a Google search leads me there. You’re right, the wealth of knowledge remains there but I no longer wish to participate in the conversation there.
16 years on Reddit and probably waiting the last 10 for a decent alternative. It wasn't hard at all. I do go back sometimes to debunk Lemmy FUD though.
I just want a little more content in my feeds.
It’ll come, Lemmy is growing steadily. In the meantime, be the change you want to see and help produce content
Yeah, I'm pumping out as much as I can. I only really lurked on Reddit, so it's a new experience.
Same here, I still don’t create new posts much but I’m definitely commenting more often, which I hardly ever did on Reddit. It feels like conversations are more real on here, and less gets lost in the noise of thousands of comments per thread
I've noticed that commenting on posts without comments seems to trigger more comments. So I'm focusing on those.

And I just want a little less of my PII on reddit's servers.
Pentium II or RPi II?
It's all about the Pentiums baby https://youtu.be/qpMvS1Q1sos

For someone who's into niche tech stuff, I found myself going back to Reddit from time to time when I'm looking for info. I wish this isn't the case.
I appologize for deleting all my posts. And I don't at the same time. Maybe try asking here in more general communities? Everything doesn't have to come from a boutique subreddit.
Who were you, DENVERCODER9?! WHAT DID YOU SEE!?
I was talking about stuff that was already there. A bunch of specific questions that most people wouldn't think of.
An example would be Thinkpad. More often than not, when you search for a solution for your problem, it would yield some Reddit links on the first page.

I haven't gone back once.
Good try spezz, just go home
Reddit since 2008, the instant I found out I couldn't access certain subs I deleted my account and the app. I ain't no Isildur, bitch. Lemmy4lyfe!
The only subreddit I still go to is for my local city/metroplex. The moment enough people from my area are on Lemmy to where I can keep up with local events and views here is when I'm done with Reddit forever. It'll happen eventually but it'll probably be a few more years.

The only reason I haven't deleted it is that I have tons of saved bookmarks. Once I finish going over them I'll delete it.
I did delete all comments at least.
After all, why not, why shouldn't I?
I still haven’t been back to Reddit since the switch. Even if everyone else goes back, I’m gonna stay here because this place is small and tight-knit. It reminds me of what Reddit used to be.
I haven’t been back. I deleted the apps. I am keeping the sweet sweet karma on the off chance they eventually fire u/spez and come to their senses.
Holding on to my account until Reddit completes my GDPR "right to erasure" request, I check back in periodically just to get my mail and make sure the mods I've left behind don't need anything from me before I fizzle out of existence.
