View submission: Winding Down The Live Bar Experiment
I’m a moderator at r/MentalHealthIsland. We grew to 6000 in 2 months because people who seek some mental health support could find us through the talk bar.
I just want to point out how getting rid of the talk bar affects smaller and growing communities WAY more than it does communities of hundreds of thousands or millions. Just putting my voice out there. The talk bar should be shown based on the chosen interest of the Redditors, at least.
It’s a shame. Will the “happening now” link be somewhere to at least have some visibility to Redditors?

Hey there! Thanks so much for sharing this feedback. Happy to hear your community experienced positive results through the live bar. We are actively looking for ways to help small/medium communities be discovered more easily. Stay tuned for future announcements on this.

Yes, this will be on the front page, the happening now experiment will be available to all within the next week or so!
