shreddit VS activitypub-relays

I am glad I trashed my reddit posts/comments before deleting accounts with shreddit [0].

After you get your GDPR file from Reddit (takes a cpl of weeks) via [ https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request ] I would highly suggest visiting the rust version of shreddit [ https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit ] and pointing it at your GDPR data to fully delete it from Reddits servers. Normal deletes only delete the last 1000 entries, your post and comment history will look empty but if you do a Google search [ site:reddit.com ] you'll find old entries that weren't covered by that (they will appear in your GDPR data).

For example: https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit

another tool also named shreddit (not shreddit.com) uses the GDPR file - https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit

You should do a GDPR request from reddit. Within a week or so they should send you a .cvs file containing all your data, including links to all your comments. After that arrives, run it through the Rust fork of Shreddit, which can edit and/or delete ALL your stuff in one go.

Since when does Shreddit cost money? The source code is up on Github with full releases. So weird to make things up about this.

there are many ActivityPub relays - here's a list of some

Lemmy is simpler, pick an instance and click communities at the top. That'll show you the top communities (subreddits) that the instance has or participates in (which can included communities primarily hosted on other websites). Sure, it can get more complicated, but getting going is easier than on Mastodon where you need to follow people or setup a relay. The federation model will help negate the need for digg to reddit style migrations because inherently one instance goes rogue others can pick up the slack without major impact.

I've added the following list of relays based on this list but out of a 100 posts that show up, there maybe 2 or 3 that are of interest to me. Moreover, there are a lot of posts that are non-English.

you can use: https://relay.gruenehoelle.nl/inbox - more than 300 instances are using it. More here: https://github.com/brodi1/activitypub-relays

What you're supposed to put in that field is a URL of a relay see above https://github.com/brodi1/activitypub-relays

Stolen from: https://github.com/brodi1/activitypub-relays - and most of them dont work. Use: https://relay.gruenehoelle.nl/inbox ;)

The quickest way to get connected to a bunch of other instances right away is to configure relays to fetch stuff from everyone else who uses those relays. There's a good list here: https://github.com/brodi1/activitypub-relays

If you're running a small or medium server, you may consider adding some federation relays under "Administration -> Dashboard -> Relays".

realized most relays on https://github.com/brodi1/activitypub-relays are either slow or closed down, so decided to host one under:

All I have found was https://github.com/brodi1/activitypub-relays which was great, a few started working right away, but it seems like a random set of servers, I dunno
