And my apologies for replying so late, but that is a really good advice that I will surely try to follow. Thank you very much for those advices, it really speaks volumes to me to be honest. I will try my best and I hope you do too!

Exactly. Like knowing that Reddit will probably take over those Subreddits sooner or later… kinda scary

Same here, been using YT Premium via Argentina for 2 years or so by now. It’s nice, cause the few bucks you pay for that are fine, considering you get all videos ad-free and even YT music which isn’t great but a nice bonus! just a shame you by now need a Mastercard for it cause Visas have to be from Argentina, as I’ve heard.

No worries, I actually enjoyed reading this much about your story and your, let’s say, journey so far. I mean, you get into detail which helps me quite a lot. Even tho my story is not as character-driven as yours, I would say there are still some very helpful tips in it! Even though your part with “how to get back into the story” is my main problem. My story tends to be very complicated on times. I have now boiled it down to basically two perspectives, the protagonist and the antagonist, but it’s still very convoluted when you meet all kinds of characters over a short amount of time. I did that on purpose though: my story takes place in a city where all hell breaks loose, so people are panicked, and they are running around, meeting dozens of other people. Some of them stick, but I wanted to bring that feeling of chaos and helplessness to the reader, so I don’t start slowly, you know. After a few pages, you are already in it, deep nose-dive into the chaos with no way of finding a way out. Sounds kinda weird now that I read it.

Yeah I guess I just have to get in the right state of mind to get back into my story. I worked on this for so long and I just wish it would be finished sometime soon haha

yes exactly! It’s nice to see that some people actually care enough to move over here and start a new community. Didn’t think this would grow so fast tbh, but it’s welcoming to see. And for whatever Reddit does, maybe it gets back to normal someday, but I highly doubt it.

But seems like some of them have gone public again. At least those I subscribed to. Not all of them but many did. A shame really!

Well I hope they read it! Very well written, it’s nice that you don’t suggest them to change or whatever, you just want to leave (as if they would change anything to begin with, right?)

That sounds great! So you would say that basically, the feedback gives you the “strength” (if you can call it that) to continue? And you don’t seem to be too focused on just one story, saying that you are working on multiple ones, but how do you keep track of everything, like knowing where exactly you left of, what’s the next big step and all that, you get what I mean?

Never thought of that hahaha. Especially the no-ads-thing is fascinating to me. Seeing all the info you need in one place, that’s pure luxury hahaha

Thank you for explaining. Now I get it. I am new to RSS readers, but I love having all the info in one place so this has gotta be a really good solution!

I was wondering, about your suggestion (and please, keep in mind I am not that intelligent when it comes to technology): when I access all the posts via my RSS reader, doesn’t this still count as some kind of “visit” to Reddit’s site? Shouldn’t we just try to stay away from it as long and as good as possible?

Guten Morgen!

28 y.o. German nerd (kinda, you know what I mean) that has just migrated over from Reddit because… you know. Since I heard about this new community, I wanted to be a part of it. Let’s make this grow, right? Anyways, I have been way too much into all kinds of tv series, recently rewatching Charmed as we speak. In general I do like all kinds of series tho, but I am not a fan (and beware, here comes the shame) of Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings… yes, I know, how dare I. But it’s just not for me haha.

If my stupid PC didn’t break down about 9 months ago, I would still be all up into gaming. I love it, it’s my favorite hobby besides another one that I will mention shortly haha. But yes, my PC was old, very old, and it finally gave up the will to support my hobby. And since the prices are too high for my low-paid job, I can’t afford a new one.

So the other hobby I wanted to mention is writing. It is my longest-running hobby (if you can say it like that). I love it, but my writer’s block has been insane. Anyways, I just love expressing myself like that, creatively since I think (in a very humble way, believe me) that I am in fact very creative and it bugs me so much that thanks to my writer’s block, I can’t make good use out of it.

Before this gets too long, I want to stop it here, just some side notes: I really want to meet some nice people on here and make friends all over the world, since this is the biggest benefit of the internet, right? We have a big opportunity here!
