It was a limited scale action to show the impact possible. If reddit indeed won't move it could become indefinitely. /r/ffxiv already wanted to move it to a week or indefinitely.
Kinda boring to unprivate the subreddit, if it stayed private longer maybe more people would switch to Lemmy - personally I'm staying with Lemmy it's active enough to replace reddit for me; and better in every way. Social media freedom ❤️❤️
