Honestly, even if Lemmy doesn’t grow to be even 1% of the size of Reddit, I think I could seriously enjoy the smaller-community vibe way more. Reddit was starting to get ridiculously flooded with trash content and bots.

Deleted mine yesterday after 12 1/2 years. Felt pretty good actually.

I always found that smaller communities do better in the long term. All of the bigger communities I was a part of over the years are now dead or unrecognizable. All the smaller communities are still going strong, even 15 years later.

I deleted mine after 3 years. First i was skeptical if i was doing the right thing, but now i am happy i did it.

Backed up and deleted all your posts and comments? Is there some sort-of simple way to do that, for people who’re not programmers?

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand: This is the way. But on the other hand: It’s pretty sad if all the knowlegde, that accumulated on reddit, would be lost. Whenever I was searching a problem on the web, there was a reddit post popping up describing exactly my problem and most of the time there was a solution.
