Instead of bulk deleting you should bulk change your comments directing people to Lemmy.
I deleted everything by hand and then left reddit. My account doesn't exist anymore so it seems like I can do shit about it. But your recommendation still holds, I wish I've done something like that.
Even that didn't work for me. My old comments kept popping back up. I had to delete them mulitple times and then manually whackamole the ones that popped up to finally get rid of them.
And they’re probably still there. I haven’t gone back and looked lately, but I did the delete whack a mole for about three weeks until my account was empty save for my up/down votes. It’s still empty.
But I looked up something a couple weeks ago and went to the Reddit link …and one of my comments was right there in the thread. There were others I could find via google, but not search on Reddit. They’re only there in context.
Genius
Great way to get Lemmy shadow banned
How?
Reddit spam filter autoblocks websites that get overly posted out of context
Only applies to new comments for one thing, and that’s a mod thing for each individual subreddit, not site wide…
I've ran bots that link websites and gotten sites permanently blacklisted site-wide.
Try posting https://localmonero.co/ anywhere on Reddit, your comment will be shadowbanned
Bots have different rules to follow…
And posting yeah, editing nah.
