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.

Is everyone too afraid to say it? Porn.
Lemmy has a thriving porn community, it's disgusting you would love it I'm sure.
One good indicator that Lemmy is becoming popular is how many people are posting their bits on it!
Naturally I’m aware of that, however right now it’s only the main communities, smaller communities still lie dormant.
I hope you find what you're looking for!
Lemmy has porn so no reason to visit reddit
Reddit is the best site I've found for pics/gifs of porn. Nothing compares, but I left anyways when they massacred my boy Apollo
One of my good friends uses reddit for sex hookups, and I just can't see something like that community taking up residence in the Fediverse unless it would be a very isolated instance that recruits only by word of mouth.
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 haven’t deleted my Reddit account and I no longer go to Reddit. I’ve moved on. That’s it.

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
Just to make sure my comments stay edited.
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.
keeping an eye on my data request and making sure my comments stay deleted
I'm waiting for some support subs to make it over.
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.
Ive been with Reddit since 2007, fuck em.
Only thing I still use it for is the NFL sub. Unfortunately it's still one of the best places for sports news.
The NFL subreddit had been getting steadily worse for years, but it's still one of the best places for NFL discussion.
Nope, I don't use it. I figure maybe I can tell someone about Lemmy in the future though which is why I keep it around.
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.
Only to check if the data from my GDPR request is available yet.
I technically have Reddit fully working with Apollo with my API key but I seldom visit it other than modding my uni sub once in a blue moon.
I go for 2 things.
A sports team I support. There's a community here on lemmy which I do post in but it's like 3 of use here haha. Until it picks up I need to get team news somewhere.
Ukraine war daily thread. This is too important to ignore but I am trying to find other sources. Started using mastodon to follow some war commenters.
I feel dirty doing so though.
I pretty much only visit Reddit now for my local sports team. I did make an equivalent sublemmy, but I haven't had time to pay attention to it since this place appears to be taking off.
Considering where Lemmy's developers stand, it's probably for the best to get your Ukraine news from more than just here.

I sometimes check if my deleted comments are back, and I delete them again. I'll probably delete my account once I'm sure my comments are gone for good.
Didn't delete, but used a script to edit all of my comments with a link to kbin. Might as well use my account for good and help out with kbin's SEO
I keep my account because I plan to dump some saved posts. But I didn't have time to do so yet.
There are niche communities that haven't migrated that I'm okay with using a crappy platform to stay in contact with. That being said I've been using teddit until I need to post.

This topic has opened my eyes to how many of you still have your foot in the door with Reddit. I’m shocked, honestly.

I just use a mirror to lurk, but lately just one subreddit hasn't really moved much, and it was the main way I was able to get information for them as it's otherwise scattered across Twitter and Youtube with a lot of Japanese information.
Yes, some of the posts on r/TrueOffMyChest and r/Advice are wild, and can't get anything like that here, yet.
I will visit the site because there is too much good information to ignore. Using Libreddit and hoping that Reddit doesn't kill that service.
I glanced the first time and thought this said, Do you stand for nothing? I'm like wow way to come right out that gate

Didn’t bother deleting my account…I also don’t bother going there anymore (every since Apollo died).
Mostly for the odd Windows 11 troubleshooting because the Windows support world is the most bloated shit ever. So many solutions that solve fuck all.
There are a few cannabis communities I'm involved with there I haven't found elsewhere. Specifically the one discussing mail order cannabis options here in Canada. There's so much to chose from, it's nice to be part of an active community where we all try things and post about it.
