From my 10 year reddit experience, hardly anyone reads the sidebar until shoved down the throat.

I’m expecting the same from recent reddit refugees.

Although one could argue having a DM pop in right after sign up and they would ignore it as well. Projection from me, but that’s what I did when I subbed to a subreddit that has a welcoming DM. I don’t doubt others do to.

To the defense of the me turned instances, there’s only so much admins can do. Leading a horse to the water and all, as the saying goes

IMO it’s gatekeeping. I got the feeling there’s a group in the threadiverse that don’t want reddit refugees.

To them, it’s a feature, not a bug
