Instead of going dark
Instead of going dark
I think instead of going completely dark it may be beneficial to lock down the subreddit with a sticky linking to related communities inside the federation to help people find a new home
/r/startrek did this!
I did the same, most of my signups are from it.
Nice!
I wouldn't be surprised if Reddit deleted such posts and then banned you for doing this. Although I am surprised they haven't reopened all of the subreddits themselves.
If it's a small enough sub with a tight knit community, they'd have to shut down the whole sub anyway
If the mods are gone, then large subreddits become a legal liability.
They won’t waste their time managing the subs until they see who returns tomorrow
Tried it.
It might work with some subs, but the one I run solo just spammed the shit out of the requests.
Yeah i think ideally they could be locked down so no new posts or comments can be made, with a sticky like that. I've already googled some things, saw a reddit thread with info i wanted, but then it was private so i couldn't see it.
