With Apollo shutting down officially I’d like to post something to the pop communities of Reddit. I don’t want to come off as spammy - but more of a “Hey, we have an alternative over here and you are welcome to join.”

Most popheads/swifities so far have replied with “Why, it doesn’t change how I use it” and I’m trying to figure out some ways to make the Reddit change hit home a bit for them specifically.

Anyone want to give some examples of what I should say/post? I’ll link the post I have in the sidebar to help those who may want to join, and I’m expanding the server a bit today just to hopefully handle an influx.

In addition, any other subreddits I’d need to post to?

Edit: Posts are live -

Waiting on Moderator approval on the TaylorSwift one. Anywhere else?

Edit: Moderators removed the PopHeads post saying it was off topic

Thanks - @scrubbles

    What I like about this place is that it has good vibes. Nice people, in a small community, happy to be together. So you can tell them I said that lol. IDK. People are coming. This place is growing by the minute. I don’t know anything about making a viral marketing campaign but it couldn’t hurt to tell people directly what you like about it here and then ask them to try.

      Thanks, I hope to convey that too. I try to keep it very “if you want to, I’m not trying to force you or anything, just letting you know it’s here” and the couple of times I have I still get those random comments saying “why would you want to leave Reddit this whole thing is stupid anyway” oh okay
