The mods permanently shut down the subreddit, and yet the new website hasn't been worked on in 3 months (per gitlab commit history). There are several pages on the site that are still blank. I'm glad we can rebuild here, but so much important information is lost by closing the subreddit permanently and not offering an alternative. Not just the wiki, but the numerous Q&A posts, too. I and many others are trying to get LoL working via Lutris and the only resources I have are a half-complete wiki (leagueoflinux.org) and the Kbin which has like 10 posts and 10 comments total. Does anyone else feel like we are kinda being left out to dry at this point?

In my opinion it was still the right move to leave reddit. The idea of having a git repository with the wiki pages is also great. The game is playable right now, which might be a reason why the community is not really active at the moment. I just hope that if a patch comes that breaks the game on linux this will be the place to get information about workarounds and fixes.

Lets see if it this patch actually breaks the game. This may be a good opportunity to encourage people to participate here.

I believe this is a good suggestion, though I think @redditisalsobad is correct about post involvement and discoverability. In any case, it's a good idea to check what everyone thinks when it comes to moving the community back/elsewhere. IMO something like an IRC (or anything more "direct") could go a long way when it comes to communicating about such things, but that's a whole other can of worms as it's not open to the internet, and can completely kill discussion in other platforms that are.
