While trying to log out or remove my account today I used the delete current account option. I had no idea this meant it was deleting my entire lemmy account! I was able to get it restored by a kind mod but all of my posts and comments are permanently gone.

Can we get a better explanation for this button in the app to prevent others from making the same mistake?

    Ah, that makes a lot more sense. I don’t think reddit ever allowed third-party apps to create apps, so they must have made sure not to direct users to sign up on reddit, lest they fall afoul of Apple’s rules.

    Edit: hilarious typo, I meant accounts but I guess they don’t let them make apps anymore either…
