Title. With the ubc subreddit opening back up again it’ll probably be much harder to enough of a network effect going unless we have some coordination with the reddit mods.

Personally I’m trying to transition away from user-hostile software and minimize my exposure to proprietary software in general. The reddit API changes didn’t affect me personally but I don’t want to support the company by continuing to use it. How about you guys?

    Decided to move away from Reddit thanks to all the issues with the company and their behaviour with the api, and then response afterwards to the blackout. Honestly much loving it here, though yeah shame for the smaller scale here. But I mean, might get some degree of a network overtime. Just put up some fliers or smth around campus i guess ahah

      Another way would be to post helpful content in this community and then link to it on /r/UBC

      We could discuss other promotion options around the start of term, but I’d prefer letting the community grow based on people finding useful content. That’s how /r/UBC grew so big since I don’t think they advertised much, past that one time years ago

        What about mirroring certain discussion posts/comments (by hand, just crossposting them) from reddit to here, and answering them here?
