ErgoMechKeyboards
Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid
No Spam
No excessive posting/"shilling" for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to a minimum and use the [vendor] flair. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed.

The restricted mode only technically prevents new posts, I just have an automod rule to delete new comments (except for on the poll discussion threads). You probably got a notification even though the comment was immediately removed by automod. That'd be my guess. That or it was a reply on an unrestricted thread.
Any chance automod can be set up to post a link to c/emk on some sort of schedule? Might help inform subscribers to the reddit that didn't realize we've moved.
I can do scheduled posts, so yes. Just need to find some time to do it properly rather than rush it. Similarly with running another poll as some people are calling for, though the numbers of people complaining are pretty small compared to the activity here.
I don't know how valuable a scheduled post directing people here would be though, so probably not worth putting a lot of effort into.
It also might draw negative attention from Reddit admins and be considered spam. Unsure tbh. The automod that replies to users as it deletes their comments does link here. This community is seemingly handling the transition pretty well so I'm kinda glad I took the admittedly heavy-handed approach I did. I think in the long run it's preventing the community from fragmenting too much.
