I could actually see engagement staying relatively the same since most people are probably popping Reddit open for a few minutes, maybe engaging, then moving on.

What I do find odd is how consistent Posts per minute are over time. But it doesn't dip or rise with comments. So now I'm wondering how automated a lot of posting is.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing this.

For me at this point I think Steve Huffman would need to step down along with a step back of their changes. I can't trust the platform given his track record.

I'm curious if you directed the users of those subs to any particular alternative?

I mean, apparently they are already bleeding money, but I doubt that these changes are going to do much to help in that regard.

Honestly, even a year ago I don't think I would have imagined this happening. I wasn't around for the Digg -> Reddit migration but I wonder if this feels a bit like that.

I was thinking it would happen at midnight (some local time) but the trickle of subs has been pretty neat actually.

Probably because Spez is a moderator there. I can't get over how funny this is though: LLM

Me! Though I'm probably not nearly as active as the previous community.

I'm mostly there for D20.

I had no idea that this was happening. But it makes sense with the decision they just made. I'm guessing they disabled X number of users on the mobile site that logged in, and tracked how many X users were converted to the Official Reddit App because of that.

That way they can predict how many users they will lose to the API change (roughly) and made a business calculation that the lost users were worth it. I'd be astounded if they didn't also have a sorting for 'value' of users as well and weighted the calculation with how many high value vs low value users didn't convert.

Wild, how close are we to 'Twitch plays Reddit'?

Good looking out! I'm not the creator though, just sharing is all.

 

Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place, but I see Reddit developments as Tech news right now.

Wanted to share a website that is tracking Subreddits that have/will be going dark. It even has a sound notification for when they change their status.
