Future of the sub – seeking your opinions

With r/China shut down and moving off of Reddit (as Reddit continues with feature bloat, site reliability/speed issues, and killing off third-party apps), I'd like to get a feel from our community on which future you prefer for r/chinalife.

1. **Stay on Reddit.** This is pretty obvious; nothing would change from how it is now. 2. **Move to Coffee.** We've reserved a space on r/China's Lemmy instance, Coffee, at [https://latte.isnot.coffee/c/chinalife](https://latte.isnot.coffee/c/chinalife). Presumably, the admins would work to evade any blocks by the firewall as time goes on. The subreddit here would be archived. 3. **Move to a custom site.** I'd build out an instance of a different forum software on a Hong Kong-based server and attempt to keep it accessible even without VPN/SSR/Geph/etc. It would probably end up looking something like [Forumosa](https://tw.forumosa.com) for Taiwan expats, and I'd try to include a channel-based chat feature as well.

Additional suggestions welcome. Let me know your thoughts.

**EDIT 1:** Looks like overwhelming support for staying on Reddit, as I pretty much expected in the first place. Even with all of its issues (seriously, there's like an outage every week??), I don't think the API/3PA issues are the death of Reddit. Leaving options open, if there's enough interest later for a dedicated chinalife website, I'll definitely explore that.
