    Mod of /r/homeautomation and /r/homeimprovement here. Yeah we are all done. The subreddits are staying private until we are removed forcefully or reddit changes their stance on the API. Chances are it will be the former. It’s really sad but we just cannot realistically moderate without third-party apps. And with the way spez has been acting it’s likely more mod tools/bots will be on the chopping block making our “jobs” many times harder. It’s hard, it’s sucks, I’ve been on reddit for some 12 years now (under various accounts). We love our communities but just can’t operate this way. :(

      Do you have an alternative magazine/community here or on Lemmy? I followed both of those subs closely on Reddit.

      I’m a mod on /r/Disneyland and our mod team set something up here on Kbin ( @Disneyland; if you’re on Lemmy go to the search bar and search https://kbin.social/m/Disneyland).

      We’ve been promoting it in our “we’re private” message but it hasn’t really gotten much activity yet.

      I’ve been hoping to see a giant list of communities that have moved their mod teams to other services somewhere, but I’ve just seen some isolated comments here and there.

        you can just plain @ it like, @Disneyland :)

        and yea, i wish mass migration was more talked about amongst mods of subreddits. imagine, mass migration + blackouts + advertiser campaign + shitty modding? powerhouse

      I just bought my first house a year ago and shortly after found /r/homeimprovement and loved how helpful it was. Is there any comparable community here yet? Both of those subs are huge misses in my list of communities.
