If these subreddits all had a sticky thread linking to their new magazines/communities on other platforms, then it would help them grow.
But they don’t. They just make a copy/paste post about reddit killing 3rd party apps and “go use alternatives”, most people need directly linking to them with a simple description of how they work.
Could you add something on the post submission page suggesting that folks also submit their content to your kbin community? Maybe don’t push to completely move, just suggest that content submissions go to both places for now.
Yes, that’s the plan. We have it at the top of our sidebar, and as a sticky post.
I had an AutoMod that automatically mentioned it everywhere but the other mods asked me to turn that one off as it was a little too invasive.
I’m hoping to also make it an announcement that sticks at the top of the page instead of the AutoMod (the current announcement is stale anyway). But that one is waiting on some of the other mods to sign off.
Do you have any plans to start redirecting users to your new spot, while keeping the subreddit open?

It’s also at the top of our sidebar, above the rules.

I’ll have to run it by the other mods.
