Reddit Account Manager: a free tool to help you migrate to Lemmy by offloading your Reddit accounts, bookmarks, and subscriptions
What is this product, and what does it do?
Reddit Account Manager allows you to keep track of all of your accounts, subreddit subscriptions, and bookmarks—all in one place.
How does this product help me?
Reddit Account Manager acts as a database repository for your Reddit accounts, so that if and when you decide to delete your Reddit account, you have your accounts, subscriptions, and bookmarks all in one place. With Reddit Account Manager, you’ll:
- Know exactly when you created every account
- Know how much post/comment karma each account has
- Know when it’s time to delete an account
- Have all your subscriptions mapped out and ready to go for the next account you create
- Save all your bookmarks, even if your accounts are long gone
- Know when an account is active, deleted, or not created yet
Why did you build this product?
Despite many Redditors’ desires to delete their account and start a new one, many refrain from doing so for multiple reasons. Reasons include (but are not limited to):
- Losing track of the subreddits they’re subscribed to
- Losing bookmarks
- Lack of data export functionality from Reddit
- Time and effort in switching (and ditching) accounts
Why have multiple Reddit accounts, and why would I want to delete them periodically?
All of your Reddit activity is public. Over time, you become increasingly identifiable. By having multiple Reddit accounts designated to specific subreddits/interests, and deleting them after some time, you:
- Maintain pseudo-anonymity
- Subscribe to different subreddits across different accounts
- Keep a low profile and mix up data
Which platform do I need to use Reddit Account Manager?
You can use it out-of-the-box with any the following:
- Airtable
- Baserow
- Notion
- Coda
- ClickUp
Can I use this to store or migrate my Reddit data now that Reddit has killed third-party apps?
Absolutely, yep. You can (and should) use it however it works best for you.
Why did you make it free?
We all deserve privacy and to not be tracked all over the web. I knew this could bring value to every single Reddit user who wants to delete their account, start a new one, or simply keep track of everything you want to, so that if you ever do want to destroy your account, you’ll be able to without worrying about losing track of it all.
And Reddit’s recent decisions, Reddit Account Manager serves as a great tool to export your data and take it with you wherever you go next.
