I haven't yet deleted my Reddit account, but I will. I'm pissed that Reddit is doing what its doing. I'm kind of waiting for Lemmy to grow in popularity so that there's more available than delete my Reddit account completely. In the meantime, how can I fuck with Reddit and help people on Reddit move to Lemmy?

What can I do in the meantime while on Reddit in protest as an average user of Reddit?'

I don't mind doing something undercover so long as its not too illegal.

Go on Reddit and take screenshots of your list of followed subs. Get an RSS feed app (I like Inoreader). Follow all of your subs that you’d like on there. You’ll be able to see everything including comments but you won’t be able to up/downvote, comment, or create your own posts. I imagine you not being logged in, not seeing ads, and not interacting or contributing content hurts them. Meanwhile, continue interacting on Lemmy as much as you can and tell people you know about it.

Just a follow-up to this advice to anyone looking for the RSS feed, you just add .rss at the end of the subreddit name. For example:
