Made a account just to post this, all you're doing is inconveniencing players of warframe, its obvious this is a failed experiment a majority of users aren't going to sign up for yet another site (especially one most people dont know anything about) just for warframe, and restricting access to the trove of posts on the subreddit and a place for the community to share content is just damaging to the game.
Addressing this after this post has received multiple reports: Since this post has already cultivated discussion in the comments, it will be allowed to stay up.
We have now opened a megathread for any further discussion of the r/Warframe subreddit. Please add your comments there instead of creating new posts.
I've got a better idea: enable downvotes so we can give this post (and others like it) the treatment they deserve.
Seriously, "its [sic] obvious this is a failed experiment" after less than one week? And "a majority of users aren't going to sign up for yet another site"... except for you? Give it a rest.
The issue with that is people on dormi.zone still see only the upvotes, they don't see the downvotes. So to them the OP is +4 but to us on lemmy.world it's -11.
It would be nice if people asking for the sub to be reopened would tell us what information they actually wanted. Omitting that information doesn't help anyone. In the posts about potentially migrating information from the original sub to here, there was a comment that the Mods were going to go through some of the posts on Reddit and make that information available here while the sub is down.
Instead of just asking whatever they were interested about, they've just been complaining about the protest and having to to use Lemmy. They could have had their answer by now and left the site by now. Someone else may have needed the same information, found it and moved on, or stayed and contributed to some other question. The Mods would know what information people are most interested in and put their time towards working on that.

After the Reddit Admins have said that they will forcefully remove all the moderators of subs that stay dark*
I support the black outs, but when the realistic options are to open up in restricted form, or to have the entire mod team wiped off the page and replaced with random Reddit goons, I would much prefer the former.
What information are you looking for that can't immediately be found from the official wiki/youtube/asking a question here? A large majority of the posts on Reddit are the same posts about Hemorrhage/Internal Bleeding, Prime Sure Footed/AOE or Incarnon related. You're placing too much value in historical information when updates have made a lot of it inaccurate/outdated due to powercreep. Not to mention how terrible search is on Reddit; you can search for a post by title and still not have it show up in the results page.
Exactly this is the reason I can't go back to the subreddit I have used it for information but playing now with the knowledge I have of the game the subreddit had a very big problem with misinformation.
there have been many times over the last 2 or 3 days that i have tried to find the answer to a question or look for a suggestion or guide, and right there at the top of google is a reddit post with the exact thing i was looking for answered, but i can't see it because its down. instead I have trudge through the forums or wiki to find an answer, when my question could have been answer 5-10 minutes beforehand. I love the wiki i use it constantly, but its not always the best for finding niche things.
Here's a hint for you — copy the URL of that top post, go over to https://web.archive.org, paste that shit in, and BLAM you've got your information, while Reddit gets no traffic.
Seems to me that the real problem is having historical information in a centralized location that can be entirely lost were it to go down. This is a good chance to start planning for that.
All of Reddit's content is generated by users. You can see it as if it is just providing a venue. A not even specially fancy venue, seeing as anyone can copy its functionality. And now Reddit comes and makes itself worse to view and moderate.
But hey. I guess Reddit's not profitable enough for such a big venue. No ads in 3rd party apps and ad-blockers for PC. Specially after wanting to dip into image and video hosting.
My opinion is that such a venue should be public. If we had a global government that is :D
i get what you are saying, sure its easy enough to copy the functionality, but what isn't easy to copy is the userbase, reddit isn't just a venue its a venue people are already going to.
I personaly have no problems with the official app (i actually didn't really know about the others until all this) but i get those people who liked the alterative apps feel slighted by the changes, but in this situation i feel like the wants of the many outweigh the wants of the few, I'm not saying this place should be shut down, by all means this place can stay up for those who don't want to use reddit anymore, but that the two places can co-exist.
When the mods leave Reddit because they've lost the tools they need to do their job (for free), you'll see how it impacts you directly. You'll get to see all of the spam and hate speech that they had been dealing with using 3rd party apps and bots.
This goes beyond mobile 3rd party applications - the changes kill moderation tools with nothing in return (and Reddit promised for years to make some tools available and still nothing) and were threatening to kill accessibility apps until Reddit gave an exception to the app developed for visually impaired people (but even that one can go up in the air should Reddit change their minds). Bots like reminder bot or video download bot? Goners.
Dunno if you use discord but if you do, imagine Discord removed bots. Many large servers would legit crumble or require 10x the staff (and if there’s something I can say both Discord servers and subreddits have in common is that not many people want to do the volunteer work).
