Gotta be honest, watching the titles of the posts getting deleted made me a bit nostalgic, because it was an almost 5yo account.

However, now that’s old news, and my account is totally gone.

I won’t miss it really, I like Lemmy a lot more.

      There needs to be a script, that moves each of your reddit comment over to Lemmy and edits the reddit comment with a link to the lemmy post

        I have already seen bots that are moving complete reddit subs to their respective communities. It’s really annoying, because there’s no actual engagement whatsoever

          It’s a compromise; the discussions aren’t lost, Reddit doesn’t get to have the data anymore, but like you said, there’s no engagement. The engagement needs to occur over here with new topics, possibly linking back to the copied old ones.

      I agree, reddit gets most of their traffic from the engagement surrounding the latest shitposts and low-effort memes. (Or just genuine community content if you prefer)

      Months old posts are hardly relevant to large scale user engagement and it’s unlikely that the one user trying to solve a problem by visiting a years old thread is going to have much of an impact.

      If people are going to move away from the site in a healthy manner, they need to realise for themselves that it’s time to move on. Better to have a bunch of hopeful and curious people looking for new opportunities rather than bitter and resentful users which are going to vent their frustration elsewhere.
