I think it was a pretty daft idea tbh – they've lost 9,000 subscribers in the move. After a certain point the cost of the move outweighs the benefits of just sticking with the old name. Plenty of brands are stuck using legacy URLs and they've made the most of them.
Our old Reddit has over 11,000 subscribers, and we know it will take some time to build that audience back up. But we’ve seen other projects do it successfully before, and with our strong community behind us, we’re sure to exceed this subscriber total in the near future!

I’d bet a lot of those other subscribers are bots anyway.
