Is it time to reopen the subreddit? (lemmy.world)

Today I checked the pmos sub and was quite surprised it was closed. And for what reason? API change is ancient history.

Clearly, the protest amounted to nothing and frankly once I figured out that reddit api change wasn't about preventing foss apps, but about squeezing paid apps out of the market, I didn't care about it at all.

What's important for any project is the community, and reddit is simply the only place where such community can grow. So why not open it back up?

upd. it seems that this thread is the most actions this community had in months. Clearly demonstrates the superiority of lemmy, right?

we need to lure them to move out of Reddit

I really don't think it's possible. Reddit's strength is that basically everyone is already on reddit. If someone has an odd question about specific topic, they can pretty much instantly find a community and solve their issue. I guess you can lure the core of the community: regulars and contributors, but when people like me have some minor interest in something, it's highly unlikely they'll go out of their way to register somewhere else to ask a question.

But the alternative of splitting the community and reopening the Reddit bad

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I'm looking at the stats of this community and I gotta say 3 users / day, 38 users / 6 months is negligible even compared to small community on reddit. I don't really think it would split anything.

I'd say that that makes it more probable.
