Why or why not and what do you use it for?

    No Im just too lazy to delete it. I’m also wondering why people didn’t replace comments with “Join me on lemmy” instead of fuck /u/spez, or both, fuck

      I left a quote about greed in my edits then deleted my comments. Used powerdeletesuite which also saves a local copy. I’ve only checked a couple of times, but they’ve not been restored.

      That’s the only reason I’ve looked. I’m done over there just like I was done with Digg. Feels good.

      Lots of subreddits have rules against self promotion. I would imagine doing that would be an easy way to catch a ban.

        I don’t consider it self promotion to promote another site but even if you get banned, the main point is to destroy the original comment which would still be successful. Some of the comments would be so old mods probably wouldn’t see them or take the time to remove them. If they aren’t removed, it’s free real estate.

        We could disguise it mid-sentence. Like changing ‘let me’ into ‘lemmy’ or use lemmy in lemon puns or something. (Dunno when anyone would use citrus puns tho).

        Would look like a typo but with enough use, people might look it up and find out what lemmy is.
        So long as Reddit doesn’t ban the use of that word.

      Pretty much. Keeping my account there but I don’t foresee returning. Maybe in a year or so if I still haven’t found communities I want I might give it another shot to see if it’s turned from shit to worse but I’m in no rush. Besides, this light Reddit cleanse with kbin etc. is probably good for me.

    I deleted my 12+ year account and haven’t looked back. I kind of like the smaller community here, reminds me of the old Reddit days. Looking forward to watching the community grow.

      Same to all this, except I was really feeling FOMO because my first couple of subscriptions to national and world news was moving content so slowly. I finally started following news communities from Lemmy instances, and I’m finally feeling all those great small reddit community feelies.

    I deleted all my comments and posts but kept my account in case reddit undeletes anything. Also to keep my saved stuff and messages. I don’t feel like it matters if I keep my account or not since I’m not using the site anymore

    Lemmy has fully replaced Reddit for my casual scrolling needs. But for research purposes for things like buying advice, tech support, etc I still find myself at Reddit. Lemmy may get there someday, but it’s not there yet.

    I didn’t delete my account because I hate permanently removing information from the internet. I get annoyed when links are dead or information is lost. I understand why others are doing it, but I can’t help but be sad at all the information we’ve lost and I won’t contribute to that.

    Theres a couple of subs that I still like to visit that haven’t really migrated here (BlackPeopleTwitter, TikTokCringe, etc). But that’s only while old Reddit still works haha

      Same thing for me. A few niche subs that didn’t quite go anywhere else, nor does it look like they plan to.

      I’m also only visiting via old.reddit but will probably let go if I’m forced to download an app in the future.

    Some of the communities I frequent still haven’t migrated over to Lemmy.

    Oh hey, this is actually my first Lemmy comment. Sup party people

    I didn’t migrate in protest, I just came here because this community picked up pace, an my access to Reddit got limited when RIF stopped working.

    I still have a Twitter account that I never use. And an Instagram account. And a few more that didn’t work out.

      I think a lot of people who don’t really care about the protests and surrounding issues will do exactly what you have, because Lemmy has fast become a genuine alternative and is likely to continue to grow and mature until it is the first stop, in the way Reddit used to be and Digg before it.

    I deleted my account after a week when I found out Sync for reddit was done for. I am now waiting for Sync for Lemmy. I only use reddit when it gives me a result in Google search. So far I am loving Lemmy and Mastadon. I thought about looking at Pixelfed. Even if my friends/family don’t use it.
