Maintaining a presence on Reddit while we build up ChapoChat (hexbear.net)

This post may be seen as factionalism and not productive, but I figure I mine as well pose the question:

Are you planning on keeping a presence on at least a few of the subreddits and continue posting there while also building up Chapochat?

I had originally planned on just "cutting over" and leaving it for dead, but then I realized that there is a lot of potential for slow/steady growth if we had a decent userbase which was still active on various lefty subreddits. We could occassionally crosspost text posts from here and have discussion on those subs about whatever we're talking about here.

That should naturally lead to more users on ChapoChat.

Another thing is that I don't want spez and those fashlibs to feel any more satisfaciton in killing the largest leftist subreddit than they need to - as a full on exodus of the dirtbag left allows their neoliberal ilk to run amok on the platform moreso than in the past.

Having said all that, I think r/DemocraticSocialism has had a decent uptick in activity since 'the ban' so I think naturally that is where a lot of the CTH refugees may have moved over to. They seem like one of the less weird lefty subs, in that they like to post memes and the mods don't seem like memes themselves, in that they are not overbearing from what I have seen.

Any other subs that you think are worth posting in these days? Personally my past experience with a lot of them has been negative, but maybe things have changed?

The old Chapo sub used to grow by people seeing our posts and comments on other subs, checking out our profiles, and finding chapo in our comment history. What I did on Reddit was make a post to my own profile with a link to this site, and pinned it. That's less likely to get us new users than it was on Reddit, but it's better than nothing.

High key it's also because we would regularly get into bitchfights with other subreddits, and that gave us clout
