This study investigates the relationship between language use on Reddit and user movement between communities, focusing on the transition from the Fallout 4 (FO4) subreddit to the Fallout 76 (FO76) subreddit. Findings indicate that users who stay or engage in both subreddits post more frequently and create longer posts, suggesting potential signals of community migration. The study underscores the importance of language analysis in predicting user churn and offers insights for online community managers to enhance retention strategies.
