This is very weird. I have (had) maybe 5 or 6 different Reminders lists going. A couple shared with my wife, one shared with a collegue, and a couple that were private. All synced via iCloud between several Macs and an iPhone.
Today I found that with the exception of the default "general reminders" list, they had disappeared from all devices, and when viewing through iCloud.com.
Nothing vital was lost, but really what is bugging me is that I can't figure out how this happened! My Calendars and Notes apps seem to be fine, and all is well otherwise in iCloud, but I'd love to track this down to make sure it doesn't happen again.
[doublepost=1528822405][/doublepost]Never mind. I figured out what I did. This is user error combined with a confusing user interface in BusyCal for Mac.
BusyCal presents your Reminders lists right in your list of calendars. I had wrongly assumed that it was just making up calendars associated with my reminders so I deleted those because they were not useful to me. Turns out, these were my actual reminders lists, and deleting them from BusyCal deleted them everywhere.
Anyway, I'll leave this up on the off chance someone else is a bonehead and does the same thing.
