Keeping CStrong Alive

That's good news.  I'll join up this weekend.  I'm not a Reddit user.  I notice it shows 14 public members.  Does that mean there is a private member class of members?  If so, what's the difference between public and private members?

No, there's no private members. The total number of public members is the total number of members. The subreddit can be set by the moderators to private, meaning you may need an invite to join or post, but as of now there are no restrictions on it.

I think I joined. Have never been on Reddit.  So I hope I remember that I have the app now and can navigate to the site in case of emergency. Thank you!!

We?re up to 8 people now so I assume you?re one of them. If you want to double check, you can always respond to the welcome post

I also just joined and also have never been on Reddit. The interface is unfamiliar to me. Is it better to download app rather than using in a browser?

Probably the biggest change to viewing posts/threads is that Reddit is a threaded model, where if you reply to a comment your reply will be indented under it and it will be part of that particular thread/branch. As opposed to traditional forums that have a flat/inline model where every reply just appears in chronological order:



The threaded model is meant to group similar comments and replies together rather than having everything jumbled up in one long scrolling list, especially if it's a broad topic (hint: the Fire Joe thread). The negative is that when a branch gets too busy it can start to "collapse" (where because of size you have to click on it to see the conversations), and because it's not chrono order people tend to just read the top parts of the thread, which tend to be the comments that get the most votes (it usually defaults to being sorted by most votes/likes.).

I just posted that in case people find the Reddit view confusing. I don't think the subreddit is intended to replace our existing beloved CelticsStrong forum, it's just there in case the forum does go down again, our community doesn't disappear with it, so there's really no need to relearn anything until that happens

Correct.

Hey guys, Don and Redz have set up the Reddit page. You can see the topic in the Latest Discussions, but can't post there. Just want to make sure as many people as possible know. At least now we'll have a place to meet up if something should happen here. If you have a Reddit account, it's as easy as hitting the join tab.

If not, well, you can wait until something happens here if you don't want to create a Reddit account, but just know that it's there if needed.

Thanks Jambr.

We just wanted to have a contingency plan in place for forums communications in case the site goes down again.

Subreddit is r/CelticsStrong

Just wanted to bump this again.  When I last checked, we were up to 20 members on the new Reddit.

I haven't followed anything else on Reddit, but they seem to want to decide whether a lot of women are hot or not lol

From what I see online, lots of space is dedicated to determining whether people are a**holes or not.

There are a TON of NSFW stuff, but everything else is pretty cool especially sports

Yeah, Reddit is decent enough. My feed is mostly Celtics, NBA, running, Disney/Universal, punk, and some random subs like xennials and tall (along with a few other benign ones).

You can definitely set it up so that you always go into one sub and only stay on that one sub by setting up a favorite on your browser. I do that with Celtics. It's when you click on general Reddit that it can get dicey. But even then, most of the trash goes away if you add more of what interests you and tell it not to recommend certain subs anymore.

I won't be transitioning over to Reddit - CelticsStrong Forum is as close to I get at social media. That's a personal decision I made awhile ago. I hope we can keep things strong on here, and even regrow our base a bit, but whatever the community decides is fine.

We don't plan to use Reddit much. Just save the link in case this goes down for a bit to look for updates. You don't have to make an account or actively post

Idk about others but I am usually not able to come here anymore. Like maybe once or twice a day like right now I can connect but otherwise I get the same error message and such other times.

Yesterday I could connect here once in the evening, and then today I haven't been able to until now

I'm in the same boat.  I have the reddit site saved but really hope something can be done to keep this site going
