Wouldn’t it be better to lift and shift? You can’t do it for comments, but it would work for posts in subs that had an equivalent in kbin or lemmy. Instead of just deleting from Reddit, first duplicate to the equivalent and then delete from Reddit.

For what it’s worth, I did that with what I determined was important content before I edited all my comments to a canned “I’m moving to a federated solution” message.

That's what I plan to do. In fact I'm trying to do it for my own comments too - if I commented on one of my own posts, I'll try to add blurb or mini FAQ at the bottom rephrasing my answer there on my repost.

Otherwise, I'm trying to edit a group of my comments into a single post.

Hey, does this only do posts? Or will it take care of comments too?

I’ve posted this elsewhere but haven’t gotten any responses yet.

I used my own simple python script to edit all my comments but all of a sudden, I can’t view any of my comments older than 6 months. This was never an issue before the API bullshit started. Manually checking what comments are available to me via API shows the same issue.

Either it’s just me or Reddit has enabled some sort of protection against exactly this sort of action.
