You don’t need to DELETE all your comments, you can edit them all. I used the PowerDeleteSuite. Set the options to delete my posts, but not delete my comments. I then had it edit my comments with a paragraph about Lemmy and moving to it.

This is a great way to advertise Lemmy, over the long term.

So far it’s at a staggering 7500 comments edited. All advertising Lemmy.

So that’s an option. Then it’s done and reddit is behind me. Lemmy all the way.

I hope this helps

    Yeah, I found this solution, too, and implemented it!

    And then a handful of subs perma-banned me for spamming my pro-fediverse replacement message that I edited into my comments. Still worth it, I’m leaving anyway, right? BUT a whole, whole bunch of comments were left unaffected by PowerDeleteSuite’s script, so here I am, editing scores (hundreds? thousands?) of messages by hand so I don’t piss off/make more work for more mods by using a script again. 🤣 Also, I didn’t really think about how it would look in some of the supportive communities when my compassionate replies turned into a fediverse advertisement. Oops.
