I ran a NSFW subreddit that had ~150k people before I took it private. I’m pretty well into fully switching to Lemmy at this point and I haven’t been back over there since.
Do you think it’s better to reopen the subreddit and just not actively moderate or better to keep it dark?
You must log in or register to comment.
Depending on what kind of content I’m more for keeping information available for the public.
If it’s just nudes… meh, lots of other places to find those.
But advertising towards Lemmy is a good thing though.
Open it, leave a sticky post saying you’ve moved to Lemmy. Do basic moderation to keep the admins from removing you.
This was my original thought. I’ll see what others here think.
I agree with this guy. If you keep your sub blacked out, people will just move to other subs or make alternatives. If you open it, you’ll be able to advertise Lemmy. Ultimately, that’s the only thing that’s going to kill Reddit. Lemmy has to grow into a viable competitor and poach Reddit’s userbase.
Hell, make automod comment about Lemmy on every submission. Write a set of instructions. Go to xyz URL, make an account, download Liftoff, subscribe to your new community on Lemmy.
Keep it dark. That way, your switch is visible and you will not leave an unmoderated NSFW sub for the CP crowd to take over.
