I’d add: pay the moderators of larger communities and reach out to the existing Reddit mods to invite the new communities to the new platform.
Replicate the api and link structures.
If legal, copy the existing content.
Give existing users a migration path.
- BizarroLand 3y agoIf you can't directly copy the existing content, build a parser to import user exports of their own content extracted from the Archive.org sets, and tombstone their old Karma counts as a badge. Of course, you wouldn't be importing the info, the users would be doing it themselves.
- prepend 3y ago> pay the moderators of larger communities I think this would make moderation worse. As a volunteer function, people do it for love of their community. As a job, there’s no competition and even more shenanigans for controlling large communities. I think the direction should be toward making moderation take less and less time so more people are willing to volunteer.
