we need to lure them to move out of Reddit

I really don't think it's possible. Reddit's strength is that basically everyone is already on reddit. If someone has an odd question about specific topic, they can pretty much instantly find a community and solve their issue. I guess you can lure the core of the community: regulars and contributors, but when people like me have some minor interest in something, it's highly unlikely they'll go out of their way to register somewhere else to ask a question.

Okay, I was not 100% accurate on that, maybe even completely wrong, but that's beside the point. The point is, protest amounted to nothing, and I do not think that it is beneficial for potential community growth to have the subreddit dead.

as far as I know, redreader which is a foss app, wasn't affected by reddit's fees/api change
