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
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.
