r/HelixEditor Subreddit is Restricted

[nik-rev]

I just noticed that the Helix Subreddit is now restricted, you can't post there

The only moderator u/Hopcock hasnt been active for half a year so I believe this may have been automatic

It doesnt look like that person has anything to do with Helix, they havent made a single post in r/HelixEditor in over 2 years

The subreddit has been pretty active lately, gaining about 500 members per month

I believe some Helix maintainers use Reddit so It makes sense for them to own it

Just wanted to bring this to notice, as I think having a Helix subreddit is positive - it allows people to post questions there, it increases exposure. Makes it easier to google for problems etc

Would be nice to get it restored

@nik-rev did you wrote the moderator a message? It would be definitely nice to not loose r/HelixEditor.

[nik-rev]

I did not. Someone who wants to be moderator should. They may not get a response so, I'm not really familiar with Reddit that much. There may be some process to get the subreddit back

The subreddit was always unofficial and run by someone not associated with the project. If they decide to lock it down don't think there is too much we can do

@nik-rev I wrote the moderator a message and he requested it to be open again. Seems to be working now.
