11 years of posts, most of them just trying to helping out others, are now gone. Thanks Power Delete Suite! I feel like I just had a breakup that was my choice,...it feels really disappointing but I'm free!
@RedditMigration Threadiversal Travel - A guide for Lemmy, Kbin and general Reddit off-ramping
Hey Kbin-folk, I’ve recently published my take on the “threadiverse” in the form of a quasi-guide but with some other commentary. https://shellsharks.com/threadiversal-travel . Appreciate any feedback, good or bad!
I know there’s only a few days before 3rd party apps no longer function so this idea may be too late…
I’ve been reading about scripts that automatically delete all of your Reddit posts and comments. I would like to see one of those scripts written into the third party apps so that I can nuke the site from orbit upon my escape. It’s the only way to be sure.
Unfortunately, these are problematic when dealing with instances that are not your home instance. Any links to the post page will be absolute remote instance URLs, which means you cannot interact with the post (e.g. leave a comment). The URL really needs to be made relative to your home instance for that to work, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to fix that for a specific post. I can only fix the URL to the magazine/community itself and then hope to locate the post within it again.
If there is a way to get home instance-relative RSS feeds, I'm all ears! Failing that, I might work on a scraper that can take URLs of the form:
and generate RSS feeds out of them? But I don't want to reinvent the wheel if something like this is already possible?
It might also be useful to someone trying to write an app with a multireddit-type feature? I will definitely release source if I come up with anything.
