… go through your ‘top posts’, copy & paste the text into a doc, post it here, then delete it. Let reddit’s loss be lemmy’s gain!

    the one thing im worried about with all these people deleting their reddit content is the loss of so much valuable information such as support fixing a niche tech problem; that was the special content that reddit had that no other place had. With enough time and growth I hope the Fediverse will become greater than reddit ever was

      Yep this is arguably one of the worst parts, the potential loss of solutions. There’s been plenty of times a Google search has brought me to a Reddit thread where 1 guy had the answers

      There are still great avenues to search for niche tech issues other than Reddit. Spiceworks, LTT, Lawrence Systems - I usually have better results there. Reddits tech solutions are usually closer to an ELI5, but the other tech avenues are better for the tech-literate

      I’m planning to re-post my more useful comments on my website, with enough context for them to be (hopefully) findable.

      Exactly, I’ve not really contributed much in the way of original posts but was thinking about deleting all my comments then thought… imagine if there’s some really helpful advice that’s going to vanish, then expanded that to all the people migrating. Plus, it would be a big help with increasing content here.
