Being a subreddit owner wasn’t very fulfilling
When I was a subreddit owner, it didn’t really gain any traction. I honestly had a better time working on my Discord server. At least it allowed me more options.
I wasn't forced to spend money on Nitro or anything to run it, I could moderate it on my own accord, easily make friends moderaters, etc.
Reddit doesn’t want me to have that much NSFW content
Reddit is a platform that wants to make money. NSFW communities prevent Reddit from doing that due to advertisers. (This is a problem because then Reddit is giving into these companies and censoring media, which Lemm.ee doesn’t do.)
Reddit could be funded through donations, and they even have a premium feature, so I don't understand why they would do this shit to third-party APIs, especially when their website has TONS of traction! It doesn't make sense to me!
