POLL: Should we sticky some PSA? We need to warn folks about reddit's trickery. (kbin.social)

Should we sticky some articles?

Followup to https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/84223/How-to-get-the-word-out-on-how-to-delete

Today I saw a handful of posts from folks who were trying to delete all their content from reddit, including another person who failed and now can't delete their content after their account was deleted.

I am thinking of two options here.

First, as per the title, we can sticky the best articles made in this magazine, so the first thing a new joiner sees is the warning about the 1000 index limit and the second on how to overcome it.

The other way would be to stick an article referring folks to a new magazine. If you look at the first article ever to this magazine from the owner, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/12303/Welcome-to-RedditMigration , this magazine was meant to cover all things, news as well as technical questions.

However, I fear that the high volume of important news is drowning out the technical aspects. Therefore, it may make sense to copy or link some content into a separate magazine so it is easier to find and to refer to.

Not to split the magazine, more like a BestOfRedditMiggirationTechnicalAnswers if that makes sense.

Thoughts folks? Especially interested in hearing about this idea from the mods @tchambers & @Shortcake

Maybe an actual FAQ would be good -- people during fractious times have a tendency to catastrophize and create misinformation.

AFAIK it's not (yet) possible to sticky content on Kbin.

It is. If you are on kbin and you are a moderator, you go to the article that you want to sticky, click on the "more" option (the one you'd click on to edit an article or to view the activity of who upvoted/downvoted/boosted it) and select moderate. A menu then pops up.

From the menu, the pin option is present.

Ah! I see. Very unintuitive.
