I want to change all my reddit comments to say I'm migrating to Lemmy/Kbin. I think this is more effective than deleting comments, as I've heard rumors reddit is restoring deleted comments. I can't find a good script to do that. What's everyone else using to do that? Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks everyone! I decided to use Power Delete Suite. it didn't get all the comments but got most. Super easy to use. That felt really good.

Given how Reddit has responded to the whole API, community-mods, etc. fiasco, I felt like they're doing some of the more effective things in not only destroying their communities but also their IPO valuation.

Everytime I feel they can't make it worse, they just double down.

Out of pure curiosity, what do you think could be the next steps Reddit could take to make their future even more worse in the most effective ways possible? 😄

I'm new here. I'm using connect for Lemmy on Android.

How do I find the best subs? I'm scrolling all, and using the search function to find relevant threads and subscribing as I go but I can't search for communities. Can you link your favorite subs to join?

"Lol no one is going to leave reddit."

"I personally think trying to fragment a niche community like this is extremely detrimental to the fanbase."

"I'm sure you and the other 1 person that will be on Lemmy is going to be so mad when no one posts there."

"you want people to go to a bad Reddit competitor, to join the - what it's called, a sublemmy? - that you've just set up and where you've reposted everybody else's content?"

"I agree that lemmy is not the way forward, no argument there."

"Like a lot of "us" won't be on Twitter anymore and be on Mastodon instead?"

I've just joined Lemmy and I need something to fill that RIF shaped hole.

I might get "cancelled" for this, but hear me out:
If you remove your account bad actors won't be able to identify you unless they put in the effort. Reddit staff will revert popular comments and posts to the way they were before the Blackout. Mass-scrambling your posts and comments with a "f*ck Spez", followed by a long chain of "A"s or whatever, annoys people who are just trying to find an answer to something on Reddit, and it doesn't help anybody except the user's feelings.
The preservation of information comes above some moral feeling.
Your opinion?

Everyone is welcome to join.

I have setup some scaling for the website(In k8s), so it should be able to handle a decent amount of people.
Can always add more resources, if there comes a need for it.

If you signup, please let me know of any issues you find(Via my email or matrix).

the deed is done.

Hello federated party people!

My partner and I have been contemplating hosting our own instance and I think we're about 80% of the way there. However, finding a host to host our instance(s) isn't particularly easy; there are hosts that are explicitly pro-federation, but those are few and far between.

Self-hosting is not an option, alas.

So, who do you use, if you host an instance? How do you like the experience? Anything we need to be aware of before we dive right in? We're both technically savvy, but the back-end of federation isn't something either of us have messed with.

Our sincere thanks in advance... and viva la fedeloution!

saying my final goodbyes to reddit

#RedditMigration

I decided to edit all of my comments to say that I left Reddit in protest and provide a link to the Fediverse. If I leave the comments up when I delete my account, can Reddit edit them back to what they originally were? Should I just delete them?

I was with Reddit for 12 years and bounced between Rif and Apollo, I am sad I am losing both

Moderators who refuse to reopen their subreddits were given an ultimatum

And make sure not to click on any links. If enough people use chatgpt or other LLM's to generate comments that are wordy but clearly just filler, it'll give advertisers pause and tank the value of the site as training data. Reddit's response will probably be to start banning users it thinks are doing this but normal users will absolutely be caught in the crossfire.

And throw in normal comments every so often too so it's not that obvious.

It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit.

I am also glad that I’m getting away from reddit’s general political shitposting, which was more left leaning. You couldn’t have any proper discourse on there, and even I with my generally more left leaning views recognized that.

Lemmy and kbin are gonna get all jacked up in the next couple of days. It was a good ride until everything settles down!

Go figure! Lemmy devs already know that reddit was doomed! Sorry this is a link to reddit but it's the only thing i found!

Historically, porn has organically decided which platform or formats become dominant. It's incredibly anti-censorship, but walks many fine lines.

As Reddit now and tomorrow reveals more weaknesses, where will the OnlyFans creators, porn posters, and all those grassroots porn communities go? The creators need to make money by showing to a large and interested user base. The users need lots of content to choose from and be fed constantly, with very few hindrances between them and their...goals. Many of the niches actually have respectful and healthy communities, too. Those people deserve an easy to use platform, just as much as people that want to look at cats, some of those groups, arguably more.

The thought of how to pose this to the Fediverse, now, has been on my mind for weeks:

Can the fediverse rise to the task? Does it even want to? Should it?

Personally, I think it should absolutely try, but I'm not sure it can do so without several deep strides in tech and development. I'm aware this is a hot af take, but it's undeniable that the internet IS for porn, and denying that would be a huge opportunity loss for inevitably winning this popularity context.

At first it was all about presenting data in an original looking way. In the end it was about pushing political ideas in your throat using a plain bar graph. It was not about sharing something interesting you found but about taking advantage of a captive audience.

I'm having an issue where comments aren't edited at all (not the same as other issues I don't think where it gets cached and changed, as far as I can tell). Recent ones, old ones, random one in between, regardless of sub. I don't have skip gilded actions on, saved actions, or mod distinguished. Anyone know what's going on? I've ran it twice and it didn't catch them, and I've targeted specific subs and it still wouldn't grab em.

Is there another service that will do it? I'm not trying to delete the account, I just want everything edited to what I want to say.
