Like it or not, years of insight, experience and expertise live in Reddit threads. But accessing some of them just got harder.

that's why I hope that some subs go read-only. keeps the information that has been gathered over the last few years, while making it so people mostly don't interact with it in their feeds anymore

This would be the perfect balance. Prevent Reddit from monetizing the subs any further, but keep a record of all the information that was shared since the creation of that sub.

exactly. hurts reddit without affecting the community a whole lol.

Funnily enough, this would make my move to Lemmy/KBin easier.

I've been trying to compile a list of the subreddits I followed so I can find their Lemmy/KBin equivalents. But if a sub goes private (instead of read-only), it disappears from your subscribed list until it's re-opened.

And since I both subscribed to a ton of subs and had a terrible memory, I'm constantly worried that my list is incomplete.
