    Do you have any plans to start redirecting users to your new spot, while keeping the subreddit open?

      If these subreddits all had a sticky thread linking to their new magazines/communities on other platforms, then it would help them grow.

      But they don’t. They just make a copy/paste post about reddit killing 3rd party apps and “go use alternatives”, most people need directly linking to them with a simple description of how they work.

          Could you add something on the post submission page suggesting that folks also submit their content to your kbin community? Maybe don’t push to completely move, just suggest that content submissions go to both places for now.

        Reddit has been allegedly banning these accounts for spam, curbing the amount of linking to specific alternatives for the most part (except Discord, which IMO isn’t an alternative)

      Yes, that’s the plan. We have it at the top of our sidebar, and as a sticky post.

      I had an AutoMod that automatically mentioned it everywhere but the other mods asked me to turn that one off as it was a little too invasive.

      I’m hoping to also make it an announcement that sticks at the top of the page instead of the AutoMod (the current announcement is stale anyway). But that one is waiting on some of the other mods to sign off.

        That sounds pretty good! I wish you luck. Hopefully, more of your community will be up for migrating over time or during whatever the next incident is.

        How much garbage post you have to weed through on Reddit? Some user suggest to do a silent protest where the mods don’t moderate and just remove the very bad ones. Letting the sub degrade over time. Is that a feasible action? Would that work on a small niche sub?

          We do have a very aggressive AutoMod with a lot of false positives. We’re about the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, but people frequently come to ask about Tokyo Disney or Disneyland Paris or Walt Disney World.

          That’s the number 1 thing AutoMod catches, but then it also catches people saying something innocent (“XYZ is better at Disneyland than WDW”).

          If we turned off AutoMod, we’d quickly become a “generic Disney theme parks” subreddit. I brokered that idea to the mod team before we opened up, but they weren’t completely onboard so we didn’t go through with it.
