This has to be the best looking Lemmy app I've used to far. Great job!

I'm planning to wait and see what happens on June 30th before I do that. Over the years I've made some educational posts on music production that I still occasionally get messages about, so I'll be manually going through my content to decide what to preserve and what to delete. I'm glad I'm not someone who decided to post a lot over my many years of Redditing or I would be in for a long dig lol (if you'll pardon the pun RIP Digg).

I'm excited to see how these new platforms flourish too. Even if Reddit do eventually concede and they drop their API pricing, the writing is on the wall. They've shown how little they care about the community that uses their platform. I'll likely be leaving Reddit permanently, but I want to know I've at least done everything in my power as a long-time user to protest their awful decisions.

It's disappointing to see some of the larger subreddits going public with a 'what's the point?' tone. Most are staying private, but some aren't. As if Reddit doesn't exist solely because of its user generated content. If enough subs permanently shut down they'll have to reconsider their API position.

I decided to write a letter contacting the subreddits I've been lurking for years saying how vitally important it is for subreddits to protest right now, at this critical time, before it's too late. I've politely implored them to continue the protest saying how these API changes with have a long-lasting, permanent impact on Reddit as a platform for the worse. I'd suggest you guys come up with your own letter template and message the mods of those subreddits in polite form. It'd be great if we can convince these exceptions to go private again.

I used Reddark to determine which subreddits to contact. I'd say only contact hobbyist ones such as sports rather than more politically-inclined ones like Ukraine that have a fair reason to stay open. Also some subreddits have made poll posts asking their users if they should go private like Gaming and NotTheOnion, so please don't message those ones.
