I moderate a very polite community of about 1500 users. There are 2 other mods.

I’m not confident Reddit is the right place for it anymore. I just reached out to my fellow mods to see how they’re feeling. We didn’t participate in the blackout because

  1. the most we’ve modded is marking something as a spoiler after someone posted and
  2. I was reeling from IRL surprise badness (which seems mostly resolved)

Does anyone have advice on migrating a subreddit over to Lemmy?

    That all sounds like good advice.

    The funny thing is, the subreddit already had to move 4 years ago. The original sub had been unmodded for years, but the community was still active. Then the creator of the subreddit returned and declared that he hated what it’d become, and banned everyone and took the sub private. So we made a new sub with a related name. When the creator went full “take his ball and go home” and deleted his account, I claimed the original subreddit, and pointed it at the (now established) new subreddit because it felt way too confusing to move back to the original subreddit.
