I’m petty sure (and hope) that Reddit will slowly die. If a s% of the users creating content that are not bots move to Lemmy of kbin, it’s game over for them eventually.
The only thing that’s quite sad is the amount of information you can find for an insane amount of problems. I hope that everything will get archived somehow.
It's been archived, but I can't find an easy way to browse it. So far I've just been using the web archives plugin and finding a archived version of a page
The drawbacks outweigh any advantages. 'Karma' becomes the status symbol, leading to wisecracks, puns, and irrelevancies instead of intelligent dialogue.
Since Relay is still working right now I check back once or twice a day.
After being on Kbin for the last couple weeks, it's amazing to me how shitty and toxic Reddit feels in comparison now. I'm basically only going there to check a couple niche subs, then bounce.
I'm also only commenting to suggest people check out Lemmy/Kbin, haha.

And therefore I presume getting down-voted. It's not enough that you are offering a helpful alternative, they want to not only be happy miserable in their chosen place, but for all other places to not be allowed to exist either. :-(
Welcome to the club! I left reddit with the first blackout and haven't used it since. It's been easier than I rhought so I don't plan on ever returning.
I got real lucky. I have google earth as my new tab page and would click the home button to get to reddit. Me leaving reddit coincided with firefox removing the home button.
I don’t think I understand federation still. A lot of communities added to lemmy.world aren’t federated to other lemmy instances it seems. At least I can’t subscribe to them from my geddit.social account.
I went all out and deleted my account out right. didn't care if my comments or what not cameback they where just to reddit. I hit the frontpage 5x in 6 years but that was crossposted content I found on reddit sorting by rising :P Anyway at least you got everything!
I don't believe so. They'd have to remove identifying information, but my imperfect understanding is outside of that they are allowed to keep the content.
I ran the script to delete all my posts and comments on Reddit overnight. When I logged in today I had a new message - an automated reminder I had setup, today was my 9th cakeday on Reddit. Kind of poetic.
I agree with you, since Apollo died last night, I have been exclusively on kbin and lemmyw. I don’t know if it is the novelty or just my wish for reddit to die, I don’t miss Reddit at all. Maybe it is like the feeling of a first day after a break up, while you’re still trying reconnect with yourself again.I will probably keep doing some Google search with Reddit for quick finds from time to time, until Fediverse is matured enough and index by search engine. For now I’m happy to be with your guys. Long life to Fediverse.
same boat here. Inquired when it did not come in a few days and they said it can take up to 30. I too have had my account for awhile so im glad you posted as maybe that is just the hold up.
I suppose someone may want to identify where they made a post from, but it is rather an odd choice. You should be able to turn that off in Android, right? Or is this one of those things GrapheneOS added...
I accidentally wandered into a Reddit thread via Googling something (it's everywhere) and noticed I had gotten mine as well in a message. Looking through it I don't know how useful it really is to have other than for posterity, but the sad part was in thinking that it was just my comments with no context, and those discussion chains are all but lost. Some probably have missing parts due to deletions, and of course they all would require going to Reddit to even read, unless I can just use the URL to maybe find it in an outside archive?
I know it's more than just Huffman behind all this, but I keep thinking of the quote that one person can make a difference. That difference isn't always a good one, and burning things down is always easier than building.
There are datahoarders out there who have complete copies (at least as complete as physically possible) of every post and comment ever put on Reddit, I've seen torrents of them. They're multiple terabytes, though, so I didn't keep a copy of the link - I'd never download something that big.
They will be preserved, and perhaps someday live again on some piratical website or in the memory of some shady AI.
