I'm having an issue where comments aren't edited at all (not the same as other issues I don't think where it gets cached and changed, as far as I can tell). Recent ones, old ones, random one in between, regardless of sub. I don't have skip gilded actions on, saved actions, or mod distinguished. Anyone know what's going on? I've ran it twice and it didn't catch them, and I've targeted specific subs and it still wouldn't grab em.

Is there another service that will do it? I'm not trying to delete the account, I just want everything edited to what I want to say.

Forking is a concept of making copy of the main repository to your account so that you can make modifications in it.

From my very basic understanding, it’s like creating a fork in the road. Each path gets you to where you want to go, but the path is different. If you’re driving to LA on the main highway, someone might fork off that with a better path; they will both get you to LA but the forked path might be: faster, prettier, less road rage, etc. The forked path is still reliant upon the original but now it is in a repository that they can make changes to it without affecting the original.

@Izzgo
Forking tree branches are also a good analogy. Point being that they all stem from the same root but basically branch off of it into another direction.

Oh I think that's an even better analogy, thank you!!

Ahhh fork in the road, that makes good sense. Thanks for the reply.
