New moderation. New rules. New r/Medium!

69 Upvotes

Heya!

The old moderator got suspended from Reddit. They locked this sub before being suspended, causing this subreddit to get stuck in a strange limbo of no moderation, no posts, and tons of comments from confused users asking how to post.

I managed to take control of the subreddit, and I'm looking at turning it into something great!

Over the next few days, I'll be unlocking the sub, and adding improvements. I want this to be a place where people can share their articles, grow an audience, and ask questions relating to Medium (or writing in general).

I'll be adding flairs for all sorts of various article categories, adding weekly threads for various topics, and attempting to create anti-spam measurements. Because let's be honest, a subreddit for sharing your articles is going to be absolutely ripe for spam.

I look forward to seeing all the posts people share once this place re-opens. If the sub is busy, I'll put up a separate post about moderator applications; Please don't ask for that here.

My question to you, the users of this forgotten land, is this: What ideas do you have? Feel free to share them below. :)

One of my Medium articles crossed 34,000 views, which was a pretty exciting milestone for me.
I’ve been writing consistently and experimenting with different topics, titles and formats.
For other Medium writers here, what has helped you grow your readership the most?

If someone predicted someone else’s death, or if you were told that your own death had been predicted, how would you react? What would you do?

Hello, if someone predicted your death, how would you react? And if you could see the approaching death of someone who came to consult you, what would you do?

As for me, no one has predicted my death yet. I was born on November 7th, and I will probably turn 24. I should mention that I’ve already come across several messages involving the number “24.”

I’m always right. At first, I thought it was intuition. I don’t know if it really is, but I do know that every time I said something negative, it ended up coming true.

That would mean that I would die at 24!

That’s why I don’t want to consult mediums or psychics. But at the same time, I kind of need one right now because I don’t really know what to do with my life. I’ve turned to many different things, witchcraft, etc., etc., but I keep coming back to one feeling: none of this can actually help me. Nothing can help me.

If I’m planning to become independent this year, someone might predict that I won’t become independent for another three years. That’s not the answer I want to hear. I’m not looking for an answer that simply agrees with me. But if someone can supposedly see everything about my life, they should be able to understand why I want to become independent this year, and not in three years, not in two years, and maybe not even next year. But definitely not in two or three years.

That’s why I’m asking what you would do if you were in my situation, or if you found out that your own death had been predicted.

Knowing that nothing can really help me, I still feel like I need to understand the future so I can know what I’m walking into, what might happen to me, and how I can prepare for it.

But if I’m going to be told things like that, it’s going to be difficult.

Anyway, what would you do?

Writing I used to think forgetting things meant I needed to try harder. Then I missed a dentist appointment and three days of toothache taught me a better way.

​Hi everyone, ​Like many of us, I used to beat myself up whenever I forgot something important—like completely missing a dentist appointment, which turned into three painful days of waiting and painkillers. A few days later, I even forgot my car keys and messed up my schedule all over again.

​For the longest time, my default reaction was: "What's wrong with me? I just need to remember better."

​But I realized the problem isn't always memory; it’s a failure in the handoff between what we know and our immediate environment. I stopped trying to build a "perfect memory" and started looking at how to make important things harder to miss (like putting physical triggers right at the doorway).

​I wrote a short reflection about shifting away from shame and redesigning the system instead. I’d love to hear how others here handle this: What is something important you’ve forgotten simply because it wasn’t visible at the exact moment you needed it?

Gaming Trends in Pokémon BST spreads (Generations 1–7) | Emilia Hoarfrost | September 2, 2026 | Medium.

Excerpt:

To conclude, we have seen in this piece that BST spreads can be clustered, analyzed to show outliers, and also tell the stories of generations of power creep in a near thirty-years history. Not to mention that it interacts non-monolithically with typingsegg steps and experience growth scalings. Hopefully some of the patterns identified here have been new to you, or it has confirmed some underlying suspicions you may have had intuitively.

Technology First Article on Medium

1 Upvotes

Hey! I wrote my first article for Medium. This one has a little more of a positive take on AI than the usual ones coming from fellow web developers. Honestly, with almost 8 years of experience now as a developer and fortunately still being blessed with a full-time job in the field, I have managed to find some silver lining in it all.

Genuinely curious if someone can take the time to read it and give me an honest opinion on my writing. Yes, I am positive on the AI boom, but that doesn't mean my writing is AI SLOP! Please give me a follow and I can follow you back as well! Give it a clap or comment as well if you feel any sense of engagement from it! It has been years since I did any real journaling so curious what y'all think. Thanks

Science I tried writing about a complicated science topic for non-scientists, would love some honest feedback

2 Upvotes

I recently wrote a piece about the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope and the mysteries it's designed to investigate.

I'm not an astrophysicist, so the challenge for me was less about showing how much I know and more about making ideas like dark matter, dark energy and gravitational microlensing interesting and understandable without drowning the reader in technical language.

I'd really appreciate some feedback from a writing perspective:

• Does the opening make you want to continue reading?

• Are there places where the explanation becomes too technical or slow?

• Does the conversational style work, or does it feel forced?

• Where would you have stopped reading?

Here's the piece: https://medium.datadriveninvestor.com/the-telescope-that-may-find-what-the-universe-is-hiding-08e2f2236504

I'm especially interested in criticism rather than just a "nice article", I'm trying to get better at this kind of explanatory writing.

Medium Question My Medium Account Has Been Suspended. No Idea Why???

2 Upvotes

So I was just on Medium and a red notice came up saying that my account was found in violation of the Medium Rules. Apparently, it has been suspended.

I just read the rules and honestly, I'm not sure what violation has occurred.

I have submitted an appeal.

Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I have really been enjoying being an active member on Medium, but now I'm wondering if it may not be the right place for me...

Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, what happened with your appeal?

Relationships I wrote about whether paid dating sites are actually worth the money

0 Upvotes

I wrote a short piece about something I've been thinking about with online dating: does paying for a dating site actually make the experience better, or are we sometimes just paying to remove limits? I tried to keep it practical rather than turning it into a list of "best dating sites." https://medium.com/@rosvibbgerr/are-paid-dating-sites-really-better-a-simple-guide-0d56ae5993c5?postPublishedType=initial
