r/notjustbikes. The man himself no longer wants to use reddit without third-party clients or moderate the community without access to the API, so the community is basically gone forever unless reddit decides to revert the change, which won't happen. It was the best urbanist sub and nothing can quite replace it.
I wonder how much of an audience these lost communities could find here. Some context, I absolutely love notjustbikes and didn’t even realize there was an active subreddit, although that ship has sailed. I mean obviously there’s a least two of us interested in his/strongtowns kind of urbanism discussion so maybe it’s just a matter of starting a community and seeing what happens.
He used to respond to some comments on that sub, and that part of the magic is gone, even if a community was created here. Besides, there's already one for fuck cars and it doesn't have a lot of people subscribed yet, with that small of a userbase it's just a matter of fragmentation.
