Title. I plan on deleting my account soon but want all my comments to point people to lemmy. I know there are several ways to do so but I can’t remember what they are. I did a search here before posting but nothing related came up.

I’m planning on changing my comments to something like:

Edit: Moved to Lemmy

but is there something better I can say?

    For me it only exported the last set. The first few times it stalled with an error and I had to restart, but it had deleted comments and not given me a CSV of the ones so far.

    In any case, PDS doesn’t get everything, because not everything will be displayed on your profile. PDS goes through your New, Hot, Top & Controversial comments, anything that is not displayed in these lists will be missed. I ran it to completion and it said there was nothing left, but I had a couple gilded comments with <50 karma on the gilded tab that were still there, as well as many comment replies to the Top comments it had wiped.

    The only way to get everything it seems is to do a GDPR request and use the links in the files you get.
