Took a peek and it doesn’t look like there’s any recent posts on /r/gifs ? Like, sort by new and everything other that 5 reddit is killing itself posts is at least 19 days old. What’s up with that?

I believe I did this, but I’ll have to check. Pretty sure they’ll be resurrecting my comments shortly anyway, since without the users’ content they have nothing to sell, so I’ll have another chance to make sure they’re all edited.

I don’t see any comments right now, but I believe you’re right. I’m leaving my account open until reddit re-opens all the private subs, then I’ll do it again.

Power Delete Suite: https://codepen.io/j0be/full/WMBWOW/ Just create a bookmark, then open that bookmark while you’re in your user profile

Be sure to remove as much as you can and heavily encourage heavy contributors to delete their comment history. They have no value without our data.

Here I am! Deleted all 1700+ comments from my account today and I’ll check back to make sure Reddit doesn’t try to reinstate them.

Totally correct. It’ll take a while, but the quality will absolutely drop. And even though 3rd party apps represent a small percentage of Reddit users, I’d bet that people who are engaged and participate enough to get a third party app for their phone (many of which required payment to block ads) are the same people providing a lot of the quality content that makes Reddit successful. When the people who produce the good content leave, then it’s only a matter of time before everyone else follows.

It’s digg all over again, for those of us pioneers old enough to remember our first migration.

By and large I don’t feel the need to go back to reddit, as I can get the news and other things either here or in different places. There are a few very specific subs that I’ll probably visit from time to time on desktop, but I’ll never use that garbage reddit app.

Under the sink water filtration system. We spent maybe $300 on ours and couldn’t be happier. Clear, clean tasting water where before it was sketchy at best (farm country) and no more need to fill up the Brita pitcher every single day. Took maybe an hour to set up.

The trouble with Lemmy as an alternative to reddit, or ANY place as an alternative to reddit, is that eventually the server costs are going to rack up and it’ll either shut down or have to ask more and more for payment. I’m okay paying, but a lof of people probably aren’t. We’ll see how all this unfolds in the coming months.

Totally understand this. I’m working on setting up my steam deck, and decided to go the Windows only route with it. Well, the main place for all things windows on the steamdeck is reddit. Youtube’s search means it’s a needle in a haystack for specific questions I have, since the overwhelming majority of people using the steamdeck are using SteamOS on it. It’s really put me at a loss when it comes to getting answers, until that sub comes back up. I just hope that data can be migrated somewhere else, since I don’t want to support reddit but I DO want to engage heavily with that community.
