Thanks Spez!

Ask here in lemmy.

I posted a question a couple of days ago in Windows 98 community. After submitting the post, I noticed last post submitted was 2 years ago.

I felt down and thought about deleting the post but to my surprise I got an answer in an hour or so.

So all you're saying is that deleting your posts to get the engagement down works perfectly?

A few days after the API changes were announced, a massive number of old-reddit pages were archived. Technically-minded people should have no issue finding the original comments.

This is why I haven't touched any of my own comments

LMAO I'm dying.

I wonder how many people did this. I did, and deleted my posts as well. But I was mostly a lurker there and so my edits and deletes didn't really mean anything.

The Home Assistant community is very responsive and can help with this kind of stuff if you can't find the answers you need just from searching around.

I've done the exact same thing on 2 accounts. There was some good information on them but now it's a bunch of gibberish.

Nuking your comments doesn't hurt Reddit or Spez, it just hurts other users who are looking for the answers that you gave. If you want to leave Reddit, it's better to just leave

To answer the question...

Yes. You can do that. Quite easily. Just need a reverse proxy. I prefer traefik. Nginx is the most commonly used option here.

FYI you’re looking for a reverse proxy. There are addons for HA that handle that, such as NGINX Proxy Manager.

You didn't wipe your comments, you only created a new version. And if you deleted them, it's only a soft delete. Reddit still holds your data. I proved this by doing a gdpr request and received stuff I'd wiped and deleted four years before.

but TBH i also wiped all my comments clean using powerdeletesuite

Same here! “No IPOs without APIs” is what I spread around 14 years of active Reddit use. Let it sit a few weeks to get backed up a few times and then erased it all.

If anyone is interested in the actual answer, they are basically suggesting <REDACTED> which is really cleaver and will solve OP's situation

Time to buy stock in Stack Overflow, I guess.

We got a jabberrer!

These are the ten words of wisdom right there.

This is how I want to see more reddit posts. You mess with our favorite apps, we remove our helpful comments.
