News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I enjoy posts like this. Thanks.
I haven't deleted my reddit account, but I did delete several years of my comments and posts using PDS when they started charging for API calls. I'm surprised they haven't disabled that PDS tool, but glad to hear it still works.
I almost never log in to reddit anymore. When I do, it's to encourage folks to try lemmy.
I did go through a phase ( late August through early September) when I could not bear the sight of Reddit as a platform / corporation, but couldn't deny the fact either that Reddit is a treasure trove of valuable content.
(Although in the end my hate for Reddit's greed took over, and also the quality of the content there deteriorated slowly due to lack of good moderation - but I digress)
If you are going through such a phase - I might recommend giving Stealth app a try. It's FOSS and available on F-Droid (I am obviously assuming you are an Android user, please ignore if not) , it is one of the most beautiful apps I have ever used, and if someone asks what that app is about, I say "Stealth is to Reddit as NewPipe is to YouTube".
PS : I didn't develop Stealth. I just liked using it when I was still giving Reddit a chance ( but fuck spez )
Stealth is nice. It's all I need, since I'm just a lurker with no use for account now. Like it for the same reason as newpipe with being able to have a feed with no account. Loving the account free lifestyle these apps allow for a personal feed.
If you have a lot of comments then even if the profile shows nothing it doesn't mean everything is deleted.
Found that out after I did a GDPR request and saw that due to reddit limitation the profile doesn't display all your comments. Only like the top 1000?
So I used shreddit which uses the reddit GDPR files to delete the files with the links provided.
Thanks. But I don't care anymore. I did all I could to get rid of my contents, but those will somewhere be on the internet (at least on wayback machine) - nothing on the internet is lost forever.
