Then set up a script that migrates your subscription list to the new account

No need for that, you can export your subscriptions and settings on your profile page.

You can use this script with a browser addon like Tampermonkey to get around the sign-in requirement:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         reddit - unblock (create cookie and reload)
// @namespace    Violentmonkey Scripts
// @match        *://*.reddit.com/*
// @grant        none
// @version      2024-01-08
// @noframes
// @license      MIT License
// @description  for "Blocked" "whoa there, pardner!" cowboy bs
// ==/UserScript==
/* thanks: https://www.reddit.com/r/mullvadvpn/comments/18jbxb2 */
if (document.title === "Blocked") {
  document.cookie="reddit_session=;Domain=.reddit.com;Path=/;Expires=;Secure=true;SameSite=None";
  window.location.reload();
}

It just says “mod” for me.

I’ve used Lemmy for a while and just recently felt like I was missing a feature for the first time: I’d love if there was some kind of mod mail functionality. One of my posts was removed by a moderator and I wanted to ask why, but I obviously didn’t know which mod did it, so I just randomly messaged someone from the list. There should be a more “elegant” way to do this, like some kind of functionality that allows a user to send a message directly to the community or the moderation team itself.

One of the nice things about Lemmy is that you actually get replies under your posts/comments and it’s not just repeating phrases to earn as much karma as possible. There’s always a sweet spot of engagement in online communities and I feel like we’re pretty close to where it begins. Other sites just make you feel like you’re shouting into the void.

Why? Doesn’t look like there’s any explanation for this move.
