In Firefox there's an option to copy links without site tracking. Kinda wish it was the default behaviour.
Song.link is the simplest I know of and seems to work pretty well. Just go to song.link/YOUR_TRACK_URL. For example
https://song.link/https://music.apple.com/album/never-gonna-give-you-up-2022-remaster/1624945511?i=1624945512
will take you to this page https://song.link/i/1624945512 with links to Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube and what not.
Bonus tip: if you're on macOS and use Velja there's an option to automatically convert all copied music links to songlink.

Just use a password manager and a unique, long, random generated password for every site. There's no need or reason to know the password to anything other than your password manager and your primary email.
I really doubt an automated database dump is going to hurt them a whole lot. However, if you're looking to eliminate everything you've ever posted (and I mean everything, not just the few recent posts you see on your profile), redact.dev (possibly others too) can use that zip to find all your posts and comments and edit/delete them.
Now I'm not saying you should delete your data. I know many people believe that leaving it there benefits humanity as a whole or whatever, but if you are going to do it that's the only effective way.
A lot of people seem to have forgotten (or maybe just weren't around at the time) but there were tons of duplicate communities on reddit during the first years too. Over time their mods either agreed to close one and point everyone to the other or the less active ones faded away naturally.
One problematic scenario I can envision with that approach on Lemmy however is the mods of news@lemmysite1 and news@lemmysite2 agreeing to keep the first one alive, but then after a while lemmysite1 closes for whatever reason. So we're left with news@lemmysite2 which is a ghost town. Probably not a big deal for a news community, but for something with a lot of info on a particular topic it's not really ideal.
Arc is no longer invite-only, although you still need an email to use it. Of course if you're not cool with that you can use any random throwaway.
After using old.reddit for ~15 years (of course back then it was called just reddit) I have to say I don't miss it one bit. It had so many issues, but was still infinitely better than the abomination they came up with to replace it so I stuck with it. While far from perfect, I much prefer Lemmy's UI.
With that said, having the option is great. I'm sure it'll help a lot of people with the transition.
I still receive PMs every once in a while from random people on Reddit thanking me for comments that I've posted years ago. Those comments have less than 20 karma combined. I also have a comment saying "Nice." which contributes nothing and is sitting at almost 3000. Karma is meaningless.

Your Personal Ambience Sound Mixer
Free | Website | Web Version
Noize is a small app that lives in your menubar and plays a variety of sounds to help you relax, concentrate or simply drown annoying background noises around you. It offers 15 different sounds and allows you to mix and match them as you wish with 6 volume levels for each one.
/c/macapps is pretty much what one might expect from the title - a community for macOS users to discuss and discover apps, find alternatives, get help, promote your own apps, etc.
The rules will be adapted as necessary as the community grows, but for now here are the basics:
No piracy. Links to cracked apps or incentivizing piracy will not be tolerated. I don't want to be the moral police, but this is simply not the place.
Try to be nice. Self explanatory.
Self-promotion is welcome, but please tag your posts. We're here to, among other things, discover new apps and that includes your new apps. By letting people know you're the developer you can actually get some valuable feedback.
I'm preparing some posts which I'll be publishing over the next few hours/days to get the ball rolling and make the place more welcoming.

The smaller communities for specific interests (music genres, hobbies, etc).
Reviews and opinions. With Google results becoming worse by the hour, fake reviews flooding Amazon, paid reviews in almost every site/blog, when I'm about to purchase something I'm not 100% sure about I just search reddit to see what actual people are saying about it.
And last but not least - mostly sane discussions for news/articles with nested comments and a voting system. Lemmy already offers everything needed for that, what remains to be seen is how the community develops and grows.
