That's the endgame we've been warning about.

On Reddit if you have a new account that wasn't five years old and had over 9,000 upvotes you'd be de-facto banned from 90% of all subreddits by AutoModerator removing everything you posted. Even then if you didn't use proper bracketing or whatever you'd get removed as well.

Part of me thinks this was intentional to get people attached to their accounts that conveniently had their life stories, writing styles, beliefs, likes and dislikes all in one place.

What is this product, and what does it do?

Reddit Account Manager allows you to keep track of all of your accounts, subreddit subscriptions, and bookmarks—all in one place.

How does this product help me?

Reddit Account Manager acts as a database repository for your Reddit accounts, so that if and when you decide to delete your Reddit account, you have your accounts, subscriptions, and bookmarks all in one place. With Reddit Account Manager, you'll:

• Know exactly when you created every account
• Know how much post/comment karma each account has
• Know when it's time to delete an account
• Have all your subscriptions mapped out and ready to go for the next account you create
• Save all your bookmarks, even if your accounts are long gone
• Know when an account is active, deleted, or not created yet

Why did you build this product?

Despite many Redditors' desires to delete their account and start a new one, many refrain from doing so for multiple reasons. Reasons include (but are not limited to):

• Losing track of the subreddits they're subscribed to
• Losing bookmarks
• Lack of data export functionality from Reddit
• Time and effort in switching (and ditching) accounts

Why have multiple Reddit accounts, and why would I want to delete them periodically?

All of your Reddit activity is public. Over time, you become increasingly identifiable. By having multiple Reddit accounts designated to specific subreddits/interests, and deleting them after some time, you:

• Maintain pseudo-anonymity
• Subscribe to different subreddits across different accounts
• Keep a low profile and mix up data

Which platform do I need to use Reddit Account Manager?

You can use it out-of-the-box with any the following:

• Airtable
• Baserow
• Notion
• Coda
• ClickUp

Can I use this to store or migrate my Reddit data now that Reddit has killed third-party apps?

Absolutely, yep. You can (and should) use it however it works best for you.

Why did you make it free?

We all deserve privacy and to not be tracked all over the web. I knew this could bring value to every single Reddit user who wants to delete their account, start a new one, or simply keep track of everything you want to, so that if you ever do want to destroy your account, you'll be able to without worrying about losing track of it all.

And Reddit's recent decisions, Reddit Account Manager serves as a great tool to export your data and take it with you wherever you go next.

MSOutlookit is a "skin" for Reddit that makes it look like Outlook. In case the joke isn't clear it makes it easier to hide Reddit browsing at work from folks looking over your shoulder. http://pcottle.github.io/MSOutlookit/

It's just super disheartening to see Reddit themselves show this off after killing third party apps.

many of the subreddits I follow on reddit still do not have active communities on lemmy - this app fixes that itch. source code is here - https://github.com/panigrah/lurkit

After dumping Reddit what I find most refreshing is not having to add the /s when making a sarcastic comment, as I am wont to do.

I only recall one instance so far of someone yelling at me in a reply, completely oblivious to my point.

Error: Forbidden first appeared on August 2

RiF started working again a few hours later

Is now appearing again on August 3

As a 12 yr Reddit lurker, Geddit fits all my needs. It sidesteps the api using rss feeds and other technical stuff I don't know about. You can view posts and comments. Favorite subreddits. But can't post/comment/vote. I'm trying my hand at engaging more on lemmy, but for more content, Geddit is perfect for me.

For anyone still interested in browsing the dumpster fire, for some reason, Baconit is still working on Xbox. I don't know if the app can still be downloaded, but it still accesses the site with no issues.

If you still have access to your account, screenshots of the last “offending” post or comment would be great. https://lemmy.world/c/banhammered

Also, all my comments deleted.

It was one of the few apps still working, it went offline today.

I used to browse reddit on rif for years before the official app even released. The official app is like "can I have a reddit, mom?" - "we have reddit at home" Reddit at home: takes an eternity to load even if it's a text post, keeps recommending me stuff I didn't sub to, full of ads, screen is filled with full sized images so it takes a lot longer to see posts that I'm willing to click on...

I miss rif. I used to lurk and look at memes on rif all the time, occasionally asking for advice on relationships or jobs or whatnot. I'm considering quitting reddit altogether, just found out about Lemmy. Is there a lotr memes or prequel memes community over here?

One thing that annoyed me about moving to Lemmy was that I'd lose my subreddits and that looking for and joining communities on Lemmy would be tedious. So (logically) I spent 2 days writing a script, that gets a list of your subreddits from your reddit account and looks for communities with the same name on Lemmy. It also joins those communites. So all you have to do is download, enter your credentials and you're done.

I never really cared about upvotes and downvotes, but I liked that my comments and participation meant something to someone at one time or another. I liked that when I posted a comment or asked a question people could look through my post history to learn more about me and answer accordingly. More than anything I miss my saved posts and comments and enjoyed going back to read through what was important or funny to me at a particular moment in time. I don't have close friends or any family that lives within 1,000 miles so the connections I made through Reddit meant something.

I'm grieving.

I ran a NSFW subreddit that had ~150k people before I took it private. I’m pretty well into fully switching to Lemmy at this point and I haven’t been back over there since.

Do you think it’s better to reopen the subreddit and just not actively moderate or better to keep it dark?

The toxicity became too much to bear. I couldn't go a post or a comment anymore without someone wanting to give me a hard time for it. Downvote brigading, using antagonizing logic to try and bait for responses that they want. The users digging into your post history to bring up things that have nothing to do with, with what you bothered replying to them in the first place.

I don't know who to blame, what to blame and when it happened. But, Reddit has long lost it's status as being an open forum to peacefully and civilly talk anything in without someone getting way too entangled with their own self-importance and how their opinions have to be seen as some form of law to be obeyed by.

Was still using it logged out for NSFW subreddits but they've finally blocked access via RiF. I guess I have a problem, had to browse certain subs every day, but you know what this may be cathartic. Now I have no reason to go to Reddit and will save myself some time. I also deleted my main account so can't discuss anything anyway. RIP.
