Reddit has been banning smaller porn subreddits in preparation for its upcoming public IPO. As a result, we have the opportunity to import the content of those subreddits from the archives.

Just catching up on old questions.
IMO, bad idea to randomly import old content. It just wastes storage space (and if the original content is hosted elsewhere, the nightmare of dead links - as the imgur content being purged is demonstrating in real time…)
Personally, I’ve taken the route of selectively posting some older content from old subreddits to new communities and letting the community grow organically. I think quality always beat out quanity, but that’s just me. I’d rather have 100 members that actually like the community’s focus and engage and actually be a community, than 1 million dead lurkers or dead accounts that are just “hanging around” (like I’m still subscribed on Reddit to many subs that I haven’t visited in over 4 years)
