News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
 

Dear User,

We will soon begin rolling out changes to Reddit's User settings. It is getting a refresh that includes changes to ad personalization, privacy preferences, and location settings.

As part of these changes, we are retiring a setting that you have previously turned on that limited how we used your activity from the Reddit platform to personalize ads. We have replaced the setting with a new option to select categories of ads that you may not wish to see.

More details are available in our announcement and help center.

These changes are rolling out starting today and you may see the changes over the next few days.

Users will be tracked with no opt out. Posts may be monetized, which will make content even worse No refund or any type of usable credit for users that spent hundreds on Reddit coins The entire vibe has done a 180° since all these new "positive changes" are rolled out.

If you wanna keep your bookmarks and the subreddits (communities) that you're subscribed to before deleting your Reddit account, I made a free tool to help you store and offload that data.

It's called Reddit Account Manager, and it's 100% free.

You can also use it to manage your Lemmy account(s), of course.

Thanks for such an awesome trip!

Users can also use Redact to delete their data, and then delete their reddit account

Yep, the ideal workflow for migrating would be something like this:

  1. Use Reddit Account Manager to neatly organize and store your Reddit accounts, bookmarks, and subscriptions
  2. Request your data archive from Reddit itself
  3. Use something like Redact or Power Delete Suite to remove your content from Reddit
  4. Permanently delete your accounts from Reddit
  5. Move to a federated alternative (optional)

how do I get it without giving away my email address to some random website?

[–] hiramfromthechi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You could use a service like SimpleLogin, Addy, Duck, or just a temporary fake email generator. I don't mind if you give me a fake email address—you have a right to privacy.

If it helps, my website's hiram.io. I realize that's still "random" in the grand scheme of things, but it should at least show you I'm a real person, and I build stuff to build a better web.

[–] Amends1782@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You should be using an email forwarding/alias service such as SimpleLogin, or apples proprietary hide my email service for example. You can have an infinite amount of alias emails that all forward to your main, and have 100% control over.

The other option is older school, just make another account somewhere. You can also create automated rules to just forward all emails from their to your main too.

[–] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

sure, but people could also host their freeware in a way that doesn't require me to do any of those.

[–] Amends1782@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree, but your question wasn't phrased that way :p

[–] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

*sigh* because sometimes instead of telling someone "it sucks that in order to get that one piece of software from your website you make me create an account despite me never going to visit it again", you can phrase it a bit more politely and hope that they, you know, figure out the intent behind the question rather than take it so incredibly literally.

[–] hiramfromthechi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'd open source it if I could, but since Reddit Account Manager is built without code, I can't host it on GitLab or GitHub.

Your question's a little nuanced, so let me try to answer this as thoroughly as possible:

The short answer is: If the platform you choose to use it is accessible from your Android phone, then yes. But it's not Android- or iOS-specific.

Out of the platforms that it's available on (Airtable, Notion, Coda, ClickUp, and Baserow), all of them except for Baserow have native mobile apps. With that said, Baserow is also mobile responsive, so you don't need a native mobile app to work with Reddit Account Manager.

  • Reddit Account Manager is a template built on top of those tools (Airtable, Notion, Coda, ClickUp, and Baserow), so you'll need an account with at least one of those to use it.
  • Reddit Account Manager is built without code.

Hope that clears things up. :)

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Uhh yeah that didn't clear things up.

I don't have a computer and I want all my Reddit content deleted without having to do manual labor for the next several months.
