You don’t need to DELETE all your comments, you can edit them all. I used the PowerDeleteSuite. Set the options to delete my posts, but not delete my comments. I then had it edit my comments with a paragraph about Lemmy and moving to it.
This is a great way to advertise Lemmy, over the long term.
So far it’s at a staggering 7500 comments edited. All advertising Lemmy.
So that’s an option. Then it’s done and reddit is behind me. Lemmy all the way.
I hope this helps
Thought about doing this. I’m glad Power Delete Suite has this option.
Thanks for the suggested tool! Reading up on it now. For others interested.
Plan to do this within the next several days.
For now it does
Mine didn’t work for half my comments. Not sure if it was because most of the communities were private and not allowing edits. I just ended up deleting them all instead.
Ah fair point. I am planning to do this, but yeah it might make sense to do it later in the week, after the blackout.
