    They did make a post about it, Lemmy is no where near large enough for them to be interested. Their mission is to showcase history on a large public platform.

    They said they are not happy with how the company has acted, but it would take a much bigger issue to get them to consider moving.

      Wonder what the thing that would be tipping point for them would look like.

      Either way - shame. I really enjoyed that sub.

      I also don’t think Lemmy is ready for everyone, especially in terms of moderation. The tools are very limited and hard to access. I have to navigate to each post to deal with it, and the only 3 options (right next to one another) are ‘remove post’, ‘ban from community’ and ‘appoint as mod’.

      There’s also no modmail or automod tools, which are really important as a community gets large.

      It’s fine for now with the communities I’m moderating, but I’d understand if some Reddit communities don’t feel ready

        I mean yeah, it would be good, and maybe make it larger, but reddit has 100 million MAU and we have less than 1% of that. They’re not wrong that moving would massively impact their reach. I don’t think 99+ million people will move for AskHistorians.
