With our growth numbers and with kbin finally with Lemmy again, things around the link aggregator fediverse feel more active than ever. Today when browsing all on Jerboa I saw so many more communities, posts, and comments than even yesterday. It’s starting to feel like we have some real traction going on here. Let me know if you agree or disagree.

Edit: fixed swypos

    Yeah, it’s interesting. I’m still getting the hang of both but it’s been fun. Won’t go back to Reddit, after the 30th when Apollo is officially down I’m deleting my accounts.

      Don’t you have to delete the comments as well? Or does juts deleting the account delete everything. I’m considering this as well. The CEO is a creep.

        Don’t do that. Deleting your account is enough and some of your comments might be useful info that doesn’t exist anywhere else.

          Yes, but if OP is thinking of deleting to snub Reddit, then it makes sense that they don’t want the useful information to exist there.

            I’m planning to go that route too. Does anyone know of good tools that allow me to download a list of my saved posts before I delete?

        Deleting one’s account publicly disassociates the user from their posts, but rest assured that won’t be the case on the backend.

        People did that on Twitter and Twitter has been resurrecting old, deleted posts. Reddit could easily do the same. Deleting doesn’t really delete any data.
