Yes. We need to somehow convince reddit mods to create their community here and redirect the users here.

I don't agree that communities need to migrate entirely. New platforms need time to naturally grow. If the user experience isn't good, then moving too many people too early will be bad in the long run.

Regardless, Reddit will continue to exist in some form for the forseeable future. It's not going to collapse in a matter of days. It might not ever collapse.

If places like Newgrounds, 4chan, 9gag, funnyjunk, etc. are still going then Reddit will keep chugging along for now. People will find there way here eventually.

I think they should migrate and that it should have happened a long time ago. We have been depending on corporations and their proprietary platforms for way too long. We also need to leave YouTube and other centralized platforms.

Unfortunately you are right that Reddit will continue to exist. Its users have the power to change that though if they only wanted to.
