Obviously a few years ago, the API changes caused the reddit community mods to strike, and caused a mass-blackout of most reddit core communities. Eventually Reddit removed a handful of mod teams on some notable subreddits and caused the rest to chicken-out. But it did birth the Fediverse properly.

I suspect Reddit will make another step at some point which causes another comparable exodus. This time, if they do, the Fediverse is far better developed to handle it. What do you imagine it might be?

    Download a new browser that you haven’t used before onto a pc, don’t import any bookmarks or anything

    Set up an account and let it sit for a while, participate in subs that you normally wouldn’t, things like knitting subs etc. for me,

    Be patient

    Eventually uninstall and reinstall the app on your phone if so inclined

    Don’t link anything to the profile like a social media platform
