I moderate a very polite community of about 1500 users. There are 2 other mods.

I'm not confident Reddit is the right place for it anymore. I just reached out to my fellow mods to see how they're feeling. We didn't participate in the blackout because

  1. the most we've modded is marking something as a spoiler after someone posted and
  2. I was reeling from IRL surprise badness (which seems mostly resolved)

Does anyone have advice on migrating a subreddit over to Lemmy?

Not everyone will move, but if you're sure. Choose an instance, make your community and then redirect your users. That's basically all you can do.

Could also put the subreddit in restricted mode so that anyone who wanted to continue posting would have to either move or create an alternate sub.
