[Meta]: Should we advertise the community in r/godot

Would be nice to have a few more people from r/godot in here. But I was a bit hesitant to write a post myself as I am not the creator of this community.

Also I'm not sure what the reddit mods would think about it, because they are not participating in reddark.

What do you guys think?

I've seen a few people doing similar in the relevant sub for their community but I do think it's worth getting mod permission first, and ofc if those particular mods aren't in support of the blackout it might be a harder sell. Still worth asking though!

The other consideration is that some people have actually been banned for advertising Lemmy or Kbin so bear that in mind when you choose which account to do it with.
- I have asked one of the mods if it's okay. Let's see.
  
  Good luck!
- Yeah... that's what I am afraid of. I don't think that anyone in the Godot (as aw whole) would ban someone for that. But you never know...
  
  I think it's more Reddit themselves handing out the bans, as far as I can tell anyway.
Yeah advertising in r/Godot would be nice. Looks like youve contacted the mods but if you want me to be the one to post let me know. I'm fine with you posting if you want though

I'll also try to get the community on https://godotengine.org/community/
- I will let you know what they are answering. And you can post the ad makes more sense (and has more credibility) if you do it. :)
I would wait some more. Most people will just shrug off the current protest/blackout. So many subreddits stayed open that the average user just has a slightly different feed for a short while. And posting multiple times in there would just be rude to their mods. Interest in alternative platforms will grow once third party apps die and good mods start tapping out.

For now, let's just try and keep things active in here. 🤷‍♀️
Maybe it could be posted on their Discord server if the mods allow it?
