Did they say where ppl could go(like here for example)?

Good they joined. I hope everyone will find this sub :D

My question is how amenable will reddit mods be to creating posts between the blackout and API change effect that explicitly promote lemmy, kbin, or whatever alternatives to their communities. I imagine it will totally depend on the mods.

The best non-aggressive way is to post quality content here, then post a link to the lemmy page in a subreddit. Content is king they say, and where it's hosted owns the content.

Or to put it another way: post the content here and post links to here on other social media. Stop treating Reddit as a first-class citizen, it's just another channel where posting links will pull people here. Eventually folk will switch to the discussions here instead of commenting there. Play the long game.

That's a really good point. It's what got me to stop using StumbleUpon and stick around on reddit in the first place some 15 years ago.

I thought the mods said they wouldn't do it. Well I'm glad they are!

As inconvenient as it is, there are always resources in other places -, whether for the steam deck or any other niche. Hopefully they will join the indefinite blackout. I dropped by the main Reddit site to see how things were going after 48 hours and a good number of subs I see on the FP are coming in as indefinite/until the policy changes.
