Don’t know if it is expensive for reddit but the link works at the time of this posting.

I can help you if you want. I suggest using Power Delete Suite to first overwrite and then delete your history, and then making the suggested data request.

Reddit keeps undeleting that though, even if you’ve been using reddit from an EU ip all the time (which would mean you are protected by GDPR)

PDS doesn’t include rate limit controls, so Reddit will start rate limiting you after just a few requests. This results in PDS telling you that it deleted content that it did not delete (partially because Reddit returns 200 error codes while ALSO including a message that your request was rejected).

I modified the PDS source to delay 2000ms between requests and ran it via ViolentMonkey in Firefox. It took a couple of days to run, but that did the trick.

TL;DR: Power Delete Suite is currently broken and it’s likely your content was never deleted in the first place.

I know a thing or two about programming, so I’ll try to do the same. However, I managed to do two runs with PDS which worked, and noticed that reddit deleted all my comments because they mentioned lemmy.

That’s it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
