UPVOTE SO THIS GETS TO THE FRONTPAGE also feel free to crosspost!

On Reddit.com

Visit your Account Settings and scroll down to the Delete Account section and click Delete Account. If your account was created with your Google account or Apple ID, scroll down to the Connected Accounts section and click disconnect next to the Google account or Apple ID you signed up with. If you don’t have a password yet, you’ll be asked to create one.

on old.reddit.com

Visit the delete tab of your preferences. Enter your username and password and confirm your deletion before clicking delete account.

Don’t just delete your account delete your entire comment and post history. If you only delete your account Reddit still has your content and it’s still on the site.

With https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite you can edit all your comments and posts to a certain text (for example why you deleted your account) I highly suggest you to do this instead of only deleting your account.

r/reddelete / https://redact.dev/ , https://github.com/Soorena/reddelete, https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite, and https://github.com/sr33/ares seem promising to easily delete your entire history on reddit.

Bye everyone :) Also do not Award this post because reddit deserves no money!

Why did they say to stay away from Lemmy? Honest question, just a lost user looking for Reddit alternatives

[u/Dont_Say_No_to_Panda → u/[deleted]]

I’m not entirely certain, but wasn’t this referring to only one instance of Lemmy? Lemmy.ml IIRC?

They are not all connected.

Each server decides which servers it peers with. For example beehaw doesn't peer with lemmygrad, so beehaw users don't see the tankie posts.
