How do I fully delete my reddit account and posts? (lemmy.ml)

Hi, I think I'm finally done with Reddit. I haven't log in for many days, and the 2 minutes I've spent on the web site I just thought "Eh, this site really sucks, everything is slow, isn't loading on my slow connecting, and is an overall pain".

If you know who am I you know I have no shortage of Throwaway accounts if I need to check something, but I wanted to delete my main account, the one with over 200K karma and still 45 coins (I didn't pay for them, someone gave me gold a while ago).

I don't wanna spend an eternity manually removing everything, so I wonder if there is a tool that does it for me quickly, before I delete the account.

After you do what others suggested, go ahead and file a GDPR request to scrape your data on reddit. That's a legally binding procedure and they have to comply.

Here's a handy guide with a not so encouraging message at the end.
