Title. I plan on deleting my account soon but want all my comments to point people to lemmy. I know there are several ways to do so but I can’t remember what they are. I did a search here before posting but nothing related came up.

I’m planning on changing my comments to something like:

Edit: Moved to Lemmy

but is there something better I can say?

    That’s what I used. I’ll try running it a couple times today and see if it gets them all.

      PowerDeleteSuite doesn’t get everything, though. PDS goes through your New, Hot, Top & Controversial comments as displayed on your profile. However, your profile doesn’t display everything - many comments are too old or middling to low karma and don’t show up, so running PDS won’t get these.

      The only way to get these comments is to do a GDPR request for everything on your account. This will give you a CSV file with links to each comment. Then, you need to feed this into software that does it for you. Apparently shreddit can take these files, however I’ve not tried it yet and the PDS developer shits on shreddit because it requires you to provide your login details.
