/u/feral_hedgehog asked a few days ago as to the status of migrating the Network here. I’m a former moderator of /r/ImaginaryTechnology, so I can give an update from its perspective.

I supported the protest; OGN (One_Giant_Nostril) seemed to either misunderstand or simply not care about the issue. I don’t know if I did a poor job explaining it or if there was something else at play. Regardless, his view—from what little discussion we had about it (I wish in retrospect that I had captured screenshots)—was basically that the third-party developers were being greedy. He was head mod and elected to keep the sub open and I respected his choice.

I am no longer a part of Reddit. I did start a magazine for IT (/m/ImaginaryTechnology) for those interested. Anybody interested in porting the Network at large over to here? Let’s you and me talk if that’s the case (“be the change you want to see” and all).

      The “imaginary network” was a kickass bunch of subreddits of fantasy and sci-fi art. A few of them were low quality, but lots of them had some pretty astonishingly high-quality, imaginative stuff. Castles, starfleets, landscapes, wizards, warriors, cyberpunk night streets, dragons, weapons, you name it. It was an online concept art museum. It was always one of the cooler parts of reddit and it would be killer to have it over on kbin or lemmy or wherever the hell things move to in the fediverse.

        Imaginary Characters was always a big source of inspiration for me while writing. Glad to see them exploring the transition to Lemmy / kbin

    There’s a user over on lemmy.fhmy.ml who made a lot of “Imaginary x” communities and is posting to them regularly. You should probably go and hit them up, they do seem very eager.
