  • Screw community names, I want instance agnostic URLs for posts and comments.

    Right now lemmy.ml/comment/123456 and lemmy.ml/comment/123456 are two different comments, and there is no simple way to find one comment on another instance (so you can interact with it from your logged in account). What we should have is lemmy.ml/comment/123456@lemmy.world to point to a comment made on another instance, then you can just change the instance name after the @ to find the comment (or post) on any other instance.






  • Power Delete Suite doesn’t get everything. PDS goes through your New, Hot, Top & Controversial posts and deletes those - however your reddit profile doesn’t display every comment there.

    For example, I had many comments that were older than 3 months and <50 karma that were still left unchanged after running PDS to completion several times. In particular, replies I’d made to my top comments were still there, while the top comment itself had been deleted. I also had a couple comments in the gilded tab that it had missed.

    The only way to get everything is to do a GDPR request to get all the comments with links in a CSV file. Apparently shreddit can take this to clear the comments, however the PDS dev shits on shreddit for requiring you to input your username and password. I haven’t yet tried this, but I’m not aware of any other service that uses the GDPR CSV files.




  • Relay was my go to app also, something about the flow of the app UI always appealed to me more than any other apps. So much so, I continued using it even after I found the paid app included trackers (these can be blocked with Warden, a rare app scanner you can find on github).

    However even if I wanted to stay on reddit I don’t think I’d pay a monthly subscription.

    Reddit really should be paying users, not the other way around. They steal our data for free and seek to profit from it.
