That's why I nuked all my posts and edited every one of my comments to point to kbin / lemmy before deleting my account. They may revert my changes, but I at least wanted to try to prevent them from benefiting from me in any way.
Thank you @ernest! Please consider setting up a Patreon, or similar, account so I can donate monthly. I've bought you a few coffees but I'd like it to be automatic.

I am so sick of ads being everywhere. It's such a mental load.
I’m sure it relies on users using the NSFW tag on their posts, which can be unreliable. I’d be ok with an option to remove the random section altogether.
Where I live, public transporation is unsafe.
This isn't happening though. I am subscribed to a few communities from lemmy.ml that definitely have posts, and there are other subscribers from kbin, but no posts show when viewing from kbin. It has been like that for a couple days. Check these out, for example:
I just hope we don't end up calling them "sublemmys" and whatnot, like what I keep seeing suggested. Let's just make a clean break with reddit and start something new and better.
I deleted my 11 year old reddit account just an hour ago. I first overwrote all comments with one promoting lemmy with instructions on how to choose an instance.
@ThaijsClan I changed about 4500 comments to an edited one pointing users to lemmy and kbin, along with instructions on how to choose an instance. Hopefully it'll direct at least a couple people here.
There are a lot of subs on that site that have apparently migrated but there are zero posts here.
Just know you might have to run it 5-6 times to get all your comments. I found the first time I ran it, it edited maybe 1/5 of my comments. I overwrote my comments with this:
EDIT: Moved to kbin, the federated Reddit alternative.
Chooose an instance here: https://join-lemmy.org/instances.
I recommend Kbin.social, as the UI is nice and it reminds me of old.reddit.com
See you there!
Yeah I had to be really sneaking navigating there and blocking it so my wife didn't see and ask questions, lol.
It felt good, right? I nuked mine today after a reddit user was an ass after I agreed with a sub mod on an extended blackout. This place is much cozier and you folks are a lot nicer.
Do you mean mlem? That’s the TestFlight app I have.
So I've gone to https://kbin.social/d/lemmynsfw.com, which pulled up that instance, but how do I then block that instance?
I was thinking that too, but it has been this way for a couple days. I figure it would have caught up by now.
Wasn’t he a mod of /r/jailbait?
I created the powerlifting magazine over on lemmy and have been posting into the void there lol. Hopefully some people move over and use it. Otherwise it feels like I'm just using it as a personal blog or something.
That's exactly what they'll say.
That was what persuaded me to delete as well. I was supporting the mods in /r/gis and mentioned that they should strike longer, and some user called me "fucking stupid," and mentioned some bs about how the subreddit is important because people find answers there via google.
So I edited every single one of my 11 years of comments to some text pointing people to Lemmy, and nuked my account. Haven't missed it since.
I sincerely hope that toxicity doesn't find its way here.
I believe you just need to enter those strings into the magazine search and it should allow you to subscribe from here.
I changed all my comments to one recommending Lemmy along with instructions on how to choose an instance.
Man! This is the first I head about the lead dev of Mlem leaving. I hope the project doesn't get abandoned.
Can that be done by users account level or does ernest have to do it for the entire instance?
So the backend is coded in Rust? I've been learning the language but haven't actually used it outside of tutorials yet. I'm experienced in C++ and know how to program so I may look into it while I'm unemployed.
My pihole helps quite a bit, but some still sneak in. I had to use a VPN to get a cheap rate for Youtube premium which helps a ton. Instagram ads and mail ads are unavoidable still.
Yes, at least in the US, we get a ton of ads via mail (post). It's a huge pain. I use iOS and I don't think there are any Instagram alternative apps.
I mean physical mail, lol. You go out to your mailbox and have a handful of crap that you have to throw away.
The tankie thing keeps pushing me away from lemmy, but lemmy seems to be the only software getting clients at the moment. So I'm torn. I want an iOS client badly, but I don't want to support tankies.
I suppose I shouldn't sell out for a nice app though.
