Hi, it might be against what most people feel and think right now but I feel that it needs to be said.

I come from rational place even though I currently hate reddit and removed it completely from my devices, but I’m not going to delete my posts or nuke my comments.

Like it or not Reddit is still a huge database for a lot of solutions and great posts and discussions about opinions, reviews, how-to and many many more. Lemmy will take time to keep the pace and be filled with these types of content. And it might might take years to get to it (I really hope it will).

Deleting and nuking posts and comments are only distroy what we and the entire reddit community built over the years and it will be a huge loss for all of us.

If you ask me, the best way to say ‘fuck you’ to reddit, is keep all the old Content there, try to migrate as much as we can here and from now on build this content here. When/if Lemmy be mature enough we can go back and fuck everything up on reddit.

This is my 2 cents.

    Well I linked to one of my Lemmy posts from Reddit and a short while later (a few hours at most) I am no longer able to access that account. Not sure what kind of ban/restriction was put in place, I don’t think I was shadowbanned because I can still see my posts/comments.

    Edit: I am able to log in via browser, just can’t use my preferred 3rd party app to login with that account anymore. Other accounts still work fine.

    So if you are serious, I’d pick a few really good guides that are still relevant and maybe include a brief header in Lemmy explaining the reason for the re-post/content. Then work fast to edit those posts with the links, or else get creative with ways to obfuscate that you’re linking to Lemmy. You’ll probably just need something that would fool a bot doing a quick text search for anything linking to Lemmy directly. For now at least.

    I have seen that there are ways to backup your comments/posts, but I don’t have any links to these tools off the top of my head. You’ll want to do it before API access is cut off though.
