… go through your ‘top posts’, copy & paste the text into a doc, post it here, then delete it. Let reddit’s loss be lemmy’s gain!
We don’t need to recycle content. We got enough blackjack and hookers to make our own.
But my top reddit comments are mostly witty remarks that mean nothing without context, do I also have to post the setups by other people so they’d still be funny?
Only if you post them in the ‘out of context jokes’ community
If you’re so inclined, Reddit User to SQLite is a project that uses Reddit API to save as many posts and comments by a user to a SQLite Database. It then has suggestions about a good way to view the data in the web browser as well.
I know it’s wildly unrealistic, but how amazing would it be if someone scraped all of reddit’s text and put it as an archive… would waybackmachine do that?
I tried to export my gdpr data the day I joined lemmy. I have yet to see it be processed. Inouldnt be surprised if they never process it.
Yep it would not surprise me either. They’ve demonstrated repeatedly as a company that they are willing to operate in an underhanded way.
I’d also add to make a GDPR request and get your data.
This is a really good shout, don’t make it easy on them.
I’d rather people not delete their content at all, tbh. Imagine all of the Google searches that would be borked by it.

I’m only hearing positives here. The quality of Google’s search results have been going downhill. This might be the kick in the ass they need.
Let’s be honest, google search has been turning to crap for a long time. I would appreciate google search being destroyed to the point a new player comes along or they get their search back to 2000-2005 quality.
Losing reddit search results would actually reduce the quality of all the competitors too.
Except for AI models that have already been trained on the data before it was deleted. So if all the useful information on reddit is deleted, we’ll essentially make ChatGPT the only search engine that actually does anything.
Just hopping from one near-monopoly to another at that point.

Same as it ever was
