    The automated migration notification is interesting, I assume it’s everyone that was subscribed to the old one. How does it work?

          Might be worth adding to the API. This kind of notification is obviously useful but a bit surprising for people who once passed by and left a comment.

            I 100% agree, it would be a much better solution and would integrate well with AutoMods. I suspect it’s not available for privacy reasons since it would enable you to scrape every community someone is subscribed to, which people may not want exposed to regular uses. Similar to how you can’t see who/what people voted.

        It scraped comments, not subscribers. You commented here before.

          I figured! Better way to get a larger audience I suppose. Seems, based on comments, some people were unhappy. I ended up subscribing to the new one though.
