Yeah, kinda. I think Reddit has its place and always will. I don't realistically see hardcore adoption from niche subs like South Africa.
I think now's a good time to make the ones that are vocally pissed off aware of this communities existence. Or even cross post the best content from here directly or vice versa, bring the good posts here - both direct links and links to the comment threads. I think the best way forward is to marry the two and not try too hard trying to replace the Reddit sub.
Maybe here, we can focus a bit more on different areas, like a South Africa news community hub. South African YouTubers, local streamers and podcasts weekly updates, cool reads and resources. Things that don't necessarily need huge comment chains to thrive, but still useful to keep a feed for but otherwise get lost in the noise over on Reddit. This could be a place for the best ofs.
