I've deleted everything I posted/comment and my account yesterday. Granted Ive had already done this a couple years ago so this account wasn't that valuable.

[–] jezebelley@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I deleted it and just use a rss reader to access any subs I care about.

[–] marcellogalhardo@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I didn't delete it but I stop using it for now. I will hold for a few months to see how things develop and decide what to do next. I use Reddit mostly due to Developer communities (Android, Kotlin, etc) which doesn't seem to exist in Lemmy, yet.

I hope the communities migrate here with time but overall, I'm finding the servers a little confusing and the Android app has space to improve.

I was always a lurker on Reddit so I don’t have to worry about purging post or comment history. I literally just haven’t gotten around to deleting it yet. I’ll miss the more local niche communities, but they’ll show up here and in other places in time.

It will be a while until I consider Reddit replaced for me. There I subscribe to a ton of subs with only a few thousand people. Even if all of these already existed here, it would take some time to find them.

[–] hawdini@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Not sure yet, a lot of subs haven't set up on Lemmy yet. Hoping that'll change after the blackout next week.

[–] sophonicai@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No, there's too many little niche subreddits that lemmy doesn't even come close to replicating. I have been using the official reddit app for the better part of a year so I'm not personally affected by the ban on 3rd party apps.

[–] Phish@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I still use it for sports subs but that's about it.

[–] manitcor@lemmy.intai.tech 1 points 1 year ago

I'm going to leave the account, delete most of the old content and switch to posting links back to fediverse. Likely automated.

[–] archchan@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Migrating completely to a new platform is a process for me, especially if it's one I'm actively viewing content on. I still have my Reddit account but I suspect that will not be the case for much longer, as was the case with Twitter when I moved to Mastodon, and others.

[–] HippoMoto@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Fully deleted. Never going back. To be honest, I was looking for a reason to get off. Glad it’s done.

[–] polite_cat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I yeeted my account today. I've used reddit for ~10 years now. It's sad about some niche communities and inside-jokes, but if people keep using lemmy i'm sure they will find their way here eventually.

I need to go through all my saved posts, and then I will delete it. Just delaying it since I probably have 500 posts saved... will take ages

[–] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I used Redact (linked below) and it was super easy to delete all 2k + comments i've made over 9 years

I am also hesitant to remove everthing. Maybe someone for example has the same question I once had. If Reddit holds on to their decisions I will probably delete the app though.

[–] neblem@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm holding out with some copium for now. There's some local subs and niche subs that I'd like to still follow that will likely not migrate. I'll likely switch to RSS and old.reddit only once RIF dies and Lemmy and mastodon will likely be my mobile social media. I don't mind using multiple social media apps, but it'd be great to have it all in one place.

[–] MayorMcCheese@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, I had been teetering, I like the idea of a FOSS public solution. I still fondly remember nntp before it was ruined. It reminds me of Reddit in many ways.

[–] DarthRedLeader@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

After the AMA yesterday, I made the decision to delete all of my posts and comments. I'm not sure I see a reason todeletee my account altogether as I think not giving traffic to Reddit is more important, so I left everything else the way it is. Maybe one of these days I'll go back through and delete everything for good.

All that said, like most other people here, I have no intention of going back, especially after yesterday, unless there's some sort of drastic change which is very unlikely.

[–] deadcade@lemmy.deadca.de 1 points 1 year ago

Deleted account history like many others (after a GPDR and manual export of everything). Going to delete my account just before the 30th, as I won't be able to use it anyway. For now I'm still somewhat lurking on Reddit, so to keep my list of subscribed subreddits, I have not deleted my account yet.

[–] lolzacksnyderfans@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I haven't yet, but I well might by the end of this month.

I've wiped my author account and main account.

But I won't delete the accounts because fuck them, they don't get to recycle those. I could delete the account under this name, because it was just my alt for moderating, and it's such an inside joke that only maybe five people would get that it isn't worth deleting.
