I went to Reddit today... (beehaw.org)

submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

191 comments fedilink hide all child comments

And saw a bunch of posts about the third party apps closing down, and lots of negativity about that whole fiasco.

... And I realized I hadn't been there for a week... And frankly didn't miss it. I am really loving the beehaw (and Lemmy as a whole) community. Thanks for being open, welcoming, responsive, engaging, and just generally nice people. I'm happy to be here. :)

I don’t have that fortitude yet, haha. My account is from 2007. Have my little Colbert Rally badge on it from a goofier, tighter-knit time on Reddit. Feels more like a monument than a home now, though.

You can request all of your Reddit data somewhere in the settings if that would help``

I'm currently looking for this, and I don't think Reddit has a feature that's what this sounds like. On Facebook you can download all your data, photos, posts, comments, in one big pile. Closest thing I can find on Reddit (which only came up when I googled it externally) is a form you can submit to request what data Reddit has "about" your account. And they request 30 days processing time.

You can use the 3rd party scripts that are usually for mass editing/deleting to save all your comments/posts, I think, and without editing/deleting if you don't want to. Like Power Delete Suite and Redact. But that doesn't save other peoples' replies, or the post you made a comment on, so far as I know.

They don't work for frequent posters. I could only save my top 600? comments, 1000 most recent comments, and 600? most controversial comments, which is only maybe 10% of what I've written.

Realistically, that's plenty, though. I don't need a museum of everything I've written on the site, but I can open it up if I'm ever nostalgic for it.
