Guide: How to edit all your Reddit comments with PowerDeleteSuite - Lemmy
lemmy.mlHere is a guide on how to use PowerDeleteSuite to edit all Reddit comments
automatically, which can be helpful for people who are migrating from Reddit and
want to promote Lemmy: 1. Download and install PowerDeleteSuite from the
official GitHub repository[1]. 2. Open PowerDeleteSuite and log in to your
Reddit account. 3. Click on the “Edit” tab in the PowerDeleteSuite interface. 4.
In the “Edit” tab, you can choose to edit all your comments or only comments
from specific subreddits. 5. Enter the text you want to replace your comments
with in the “Edit to” field. This is where you can promote Lemmy by sharing
information, links, or any other relevant content. 6. Click on the “Edit” button
to start the editing process. 7. PowerDeleteSuite will automatically edit all
your comments with the new text you specified, which can help spread the word
about Lemmy to your Reddit community. 8. Note that PowerDeleteSuite does not
wait after editing a comment, so it will make the next request immediately[2].
9. After the editing process is complete, you can choose to delete all your
comments using the “Delete” tab in the PowerDeleteSuite interface. It is
important to note that many subreddits have Automoderator configurations that
could be triggered when you edit, so ensure that the content you provide in the
edits aligns with the rules and guidelines of each subreddit[1]. Additionally,
PowerDeleteSuite edits comments by overwriting the original text in the database
with a word or single letter, then deleting it[3]. Finally, it is worth
mentioning that PowerDeleteSuite pulls the latest version from GitHub, so
whenever the developer adds new features or fixes bugs, you will have access to
them[1]. By using PowerDeleteSuite to edit your Reddit comments and promote
Lemmy, you can help introduce people to this alternative platform and encourage
them to join the community. Citations: https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite

Just deleted 13 years worth of comments and posts. Not gonna lie it was slightly painful but it had to be done. I used Redact to overwrite and delete them with a message.
