Open it, leave a sticky post saying you've moved to Lemmy. Do basic moderation to keep the admins from removing you.

MODERATORS
This was my original thought. I’ll see what others here think.
I agree with this guy. If you keep your sub blacked out, people will just move to other subs or make alternatives. If you open it, you'll be able to advertise Lemmy. Ultimately, that's the only thing that's going to kill Reddit. Lemmy has to grow into a viable competitor and poach Reddit's userbase.
Hell, make automod comment about Lemmy on every submission. Write a set of instructions. Go to xyz URL, make an account, download Liftoff, subscribe to your new community on Lemmy.
Do what @zebs said, but additionally restrict posting to only approved users and set yourself as the only one approved. Also use a script to delete all posts there and repost them here. People will go where the content is, so give them a reason to switch
Nah. Leave it dark. Don’t give the content back unless you can remove it all except a message that says your on Lemmy now
Cool guys don't look at failing social media sites, they just turn around and walk away.
John Wick's a cool guy. He went berserk getting revenge. That's how I'm feeling.
Shit. That is true…
Keep it dark. That way, your switch is visible and you will not leave an unmoderated NSFW sub for the CP crowd to take over.
I kind of like the idea of it reopening but letting it slowly turn to shit as a stop updating all the spam blocks I have.
Depending on what kind of content I'm more for keeping information available for the public.
If it's just nudes.. meh, lots of other places to find those.
But advertising towards Lemmy is a good thing though.
Leave everything, screw nsfw
