I totally believe this. Exactly zero of the 11K subscribers of the sub I mod have followed me over to the fediverse–despite a third of them ‘supporting’ the idea of keeping the sub dark.
Still deciding if I should just be an ‘absentee mod’ (not post anything personally, but keep things reasonably orderly) or let someone else mod it and move on. I just cant, in good conscience, ‘return to normal’.
Relax the rules to basic reddiquette and allow posting of anything. I think a few subs are doing that and you’ll get people posting stuff like Hong Kong awareness, reddit news, etc.
You could also start posting nsfw content which I think InterestingAsFuck were doing because it blocks Reddit ads and monetisation.

Reddit doesn’t support you, your fellow users don’t support you. Do right by yourself and stop giving free effort for no benefit.
