Is there an r/pan archive?

One afternoon in 2022, I woke up to the news my dad had died. Mom found him when she got home from a trip.

I got dressed, packed in 45 seconds and went to the airport. There were no flights til morning, so I found a bar where I drank and talked to strangers and family all night.

I ended up spending the wee small hours awake in a brand new airport terminal where I was until my grotesquely delayed 6am flight took off past noon.

I’d cringe the night away watching that shit right now.

Not going gently...

There was an in-person Reddit event at South by Southwest today. I showed up wearing my r/AnimalsOnReddit RPAN shirt. And I made sure to be front and center in the group photos.

Thank you RPAN

I haven't been back here in a long time, but I just wanted to express my thanks to RPAN. It got me out of a rut during COVID when there were so many uncertainties. But, thanks to RPAN, I've gotten back into writing blogs, making short videos, and photography.

So, to everyone who was here and is still here, thank you.

Let's make our own RPAN! Who's with me?

Since RPAN is never coming back. Who wants to join me in creating our own version of it? Just an app that does what RPAN did. Live streams to communicate with people and showcase whatever we want. Who wants to help make this a reality?

What needs did RPAN fulfilled for you?

Hey there! I'm currently in my third year studying communication and media, and for one of my courses, I'm tasked with writing a research paper focusing on a specific social media platform. I've chosen RPAN 😄 I used to do live streaming (I was singing) and found it so fun. My research question revolves around the needs that RPAN fulfilled for its users (both streamers and viewers). I'm intrigued by various aspects such as social connections, emotional support, entertainment, financial support for streamers (e.g., donations), business opportunities, educational content, combating loneliness (particularly in the context of the Covid era, though not exclusively), and more. I'd love to hear from you about your experiences with RPAN and how it met your needs. Feel free to share anything that comes to mind; it doesn't have to align exactly with the items I listed. If you can be detailed with your response it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much in advance :D

Been a long time

Ah, rPAN, we meet again......

I do miss it, getting a random ~10k views just like that in /r/RedditSets - it felt so good (let's forget the trolls, shall we 🤐😏).

Just wish there were other platforms like this model without the need for self-effort. I am still trying to crack Twitch (even Amazon are having trouble making Twitch profitable).

Hope you are all ok though.

Memory from pandemic days. Lots of love to r/lgbt

I miss being able to go live and talk about mental health to people who need to hear that sort of thing. Rpan was such a cool experience for me. Shout out to r/lgbt and all the mods <3

I miss DJing on RPAN, and I'd like to start streaming on TikTok, but I need 1000 followers first. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get there?

I don't have much social media presence, but when I was streaming on RPAN I was able to get 1000s of simultaneous viewers. On TikTok, I have less than 40 followers. Has anyone made the transition successfully, and how did you get people to follow you without being able to stream live?

An RPan memory from 2 years ago.

RPan helped get us all through Covid. RPan helped me save a pregnant stray cat and made sure we could all stay together. RPan helped us create a cat community that we still have to this day. RPan gave me a family. If nothing else, I’ll always be thankful for that. I hope it comes back one day. But if it doesn’t, I’m always thankful for what we had here. That shit saved that life.

Someone should make a YouTube documentary about rpan.

One that talks about its start, changes, and end Mentions some of the popular streams/streamers

I’d even be willing to help out.

I think more people need to know what this was and why it was so loved. This truly was one of the greatest things on the internet and I think it would make a fantastic video.
