I don't think that's silly at all. I wasn't aware that some subs were closing only as a joke/ironically, which is pretty shitty if that's the case. Most communities I was a part of are participating in the blackout for legitimate reasons. Hopefully those communities can be rebuilt here, but I understand that's not ideal and can take time. Which sub are you referring to, if I may ask?

I want to, but I am trying to find a way to make a private backup of my saved comments/threads before I do. I have a lot of useful stuff that I saved over the last 12 years that I really don't want to lose. Some have suggested making a GDPR request, but since I am not in the EU Reddit technically doesn't have to comply. Automated tools I have found only purge my data with no way to make a backup first.

I did at first, but the more acclimated I get to Lemmy/Fediverse that feeling has mostly gone away. I'm mostly going to miss the Apollo app, because it was just that good and is where I spent the most time browsing Reddit. I sincerely hope Christian Selig makes a Lemmy app and I will gladly pay for it if he does, but I understand if he wants a break or wants to focus on other projects.
