I may have missed some steps but I recall reddit removing and replacing mods of many subs.

It doesn't matter, because the damage is done. Small communities aren't what they used to be and the big subreddits are even lower quality.

R/ASOIAF knew about Lemmy and debated internally whether to migrate. I honestly can't believe they didn't. They were among the more passionate holdouts

They could have just made a post after setting up a lemmy community and people would have made the move

Also, can mods not delete subreddits? I'm surprised this didn't happen
