Shows how desperate they've become for content creators after the fiasco that was the third party app protest. Like, they're not profitable yet, and they want to give money away? C'mon already.

This makes me wonder if, when you "delete" your account, they just flip this variable to disable login but still retain all of your user data.
I'm pretty sure this is the case. At least within some short timeframe (say 30 days or something).
First, I've read on reddit about cases where folks had their reddit accounts hacked, and then the black hats deleted the accounts. But reddit was able to restore them.
Second, I got permabanned, so I eventually left reddit and deleted my account. However, if you try to visit my account, you see that my account is blocked instead of seeing the user deleted account message.
This was very me
There was an issue where lemmy.ml refused connections from kbin instances but the admins of that instance fixed the issue yesterday. At no point did true defederation occur.
This happened to me as well, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/173304/reddit-data-retrieval-thoughts
The instructions on GitHub are the guide.
I would start a new thread in this magazine and tag the folks who said they already used shreddit successfully to see if they can help.
The only other advice I have might be that the exe is bad so try finding a good guide for setting up WSL2 and then running the Unix version of shreddit in there. (I think most folks who did it successfully are on OS X or something)
Did you wipe your post history first?
Recommend giving https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit a try - it supports using the GDPR archive out of the box, no code changes required.
Not sure I think just copy the https link to this page and add a new link in the other magazine
A company headquartered in the US but it's a website that has a presence in many countries, including the EU.
Maybe not surprising, but they are probably shortchanging themselves by not allowing folks from abroad to contribute into the program. USians aren't the only content creators.
