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 given Reddit's recent controversial decisions, Reddit Account Manager serves as a great tool to export your data and take it with you wherever you go next.

Am I crazy, or do I not see a link? I am headed to bed...

[-] hiramfromthechi@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

My fault. I just edited the post and put the link right at the first instance of the product name.

I gotta link to the broader product page because every click generates a unique checkout link. So I can't provide the direct link to the checkout. (Don't worry, it's completely free. The checkout page simply exists as the delivery method.)

Also working on a standalone website. Ideally that's what I'd link to, but the website's not finished yet.

Edit: Reddit Account Manager now has a standalone website.

Thank you sir/mam!

Goodnight, sweet prince

[-] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago

I could have used this a few months back but I've already nuked most everything from my account there, aside from the account itself.

Still, nice work! I'm sure it'll come in handy for a lot of people yet.

[-] hiramfromthechi@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Appreciate the love, and I'm sorry I wasn't able to get it into your hands sooner.

I'm definitely keeping this in mind for the next time my crippling perfectionism prevents me from launching something useful into the world.

[-] CTdummy@artemis.camp 9 points 1 year ago

Unless my viewer is borked, got a GitHub or link to your project? Definitely sounds like something I’d use!

[-] hiramfromthechi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nah that's my fault, I completely forgot to hyperlink in the post. 🙃

Idk how to put this on GitHub, but I'll try to figure it out and do it.

I edited the post now to include the link.

Edit: Reddit Account Manager now has its own website.

Wizardry 🪄

[-] willya@lemmyf.uk 6 points 1 year ago

Very odd rollout, throwing it into a shop. Why is this not on GitHub?

[-] hiramfromthechi@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Idk how I'd put this on GitHub, but happy to follow your (or someone else's) guidance on how to do so, and I'll do it. 🙏

If your using Linux you can follow these instructions

https://gist.github.com/mindplace/b4b094157d7a3be6afd2c96370d39fad

If you don't have git installed at all find your distro and follow the install instructions here

https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git

If you have any issues reply in thread and the next time I'm on I'll try and help.

Out of curiosity what language did you write your project in?

[-] hiramfromthechi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Appreciate the resources. I'm not a software engineer, and I built this without writing code. So the language is... English. (lbs)

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.
