I just made an account on this forum to make this post. As a full disclaimer, I don't even have a reddit account (I self-host a libreddit instance which is read-only). Reddit sucks but it has users. Nobody uses this forum at all. I check this forum once a month and there's never anything here. I don't care if there were plans to move here before or not, nobody wants to use this site and it's a ghost town.
It's especially sad when there are "calls for developers" and little update posts put on the subreddit, because nobody wants to come here. The selfhosted subreddit for example has to answer a ton of questions about jellyfin, and the answers are always pretty bad. Questions from this forum never even show up at the top of Google search, only the subreddit.
This kind of behavior is unproductive and doesn't encourage engagement. This forum is going to continue to slowly drag on and on, and years later it will still never be 10% as active as the subreddit was. But hey, some people feel that they were sticking it to the man or something, who cares what the users thought. Enjoy working by yourself and checking sub forums here that haven't had any posts for weeks. Maybe someday in the future the decision will be reversed, who knows, but man what a huge waste of time this entire thing has been. Reddit the company doesn't know you exist nor do they know that you're gone, and 99% of people will refuse to make an account here and post. I hope you guys change your minds soon because it's extremely depressing to see how dead this place is. I even went as far as to switch my music library to Navidrome because at least I see active conversations taking place there.
