Title. I plan on deleting my account soon but want all my comments to point people to lemmy. I know there are several ways to do so but I can't remember what they are. I did a search here before posting but nothing related came up.

I'm planning on changing my comments to something like:

Edit: Moved to Lemmy

but is there something better I can say?

Interesting. I must just not have had that much content then. I went through all the tabs on my profile, and all of them showed 'no content' after running PDS.

They won't necessarily show in the tabs, I only had 2 gilded comments that were missed and shown in the gilded tabs. The rest of the remaining comments were just loose on reddit, and there were a lot of those. Mostly 1 karma comments, but for me comments with 50 karma or less. The main ones I noticed were replies down below old top comments I had made. I opened them before I ran PDS and after completion I refreshed, the top comment was gone but the little replies were still there.

Even after running PDS, you should still be able to do a GDPR request to see what's left, so long as you can convince them you're in the right jurisdiction (maybe a VPN would work).
