Well, there isn't a clear way forward with reddit in turmoil right now. There's no way to plan or predict what's going to happen at this stage. For example, if you are worried they'll remove you and replace you with random mods, you could give a bunch of Dolphin devs moderator permissions as backup. Which you may still want to do, I don't know. But then reddit could just purge ALL mods and then it wouldn't matter how many mods there are. Anything can happen right now, hell you probably know what's going on better than I do, so I can't really give any good advice or anything. Maybe the subreddit is small enough that they won't bother you, I don't know.
However, in my opinion, the ones that care about the subreddit should be the ones that run it. As with ten years ago, I don't think that "handing it over" to the Dolphin Developers (aka you giving it to the Dolphin Foundation and leaving it in our care exclusively) will have a good result - we're busy, and we're not going to do a very good job taking care of it simply because we don't care about it as much as you do. Plus most of us aren't on reddit very much.
If anyone wants to pitch in and volunteers to help with the subreddit's moderation, by all means they should! But I still think you should remain as the lead of the subreddit for as long as reddit allows, and for as long as you want to remain in that position. That will give the best result going forward, imo, though there's no way to predict what's going to happen at this stage.
If you want to add all the Dolphin developers as backup staff in case you are removed, theoretically we could do that, but there are a lot of concerns. With reddit threatening to yank control at any point, we should not make it official at this stage. Imagine if we branded it the official dolphin emulator subreddit and then suddenly it was unmoderated. No thank you! So IMO, Dolphin emulator should not "assume control" in any capacity. If you want to give a bunch of us mod powers as backup, it must be in an unofficial capacity and only as backup. But honestly I don't think that's a wise move anyway. IMO you should spread it out to those you trust within the subreddit's community itself, and anyone from wider Dolphin communities who volunteers to help out.
EDIT: Considering how reddit seems to want to do anything to force subreddits to open, moving to just reposting our blog posts may not be a bad idea, honestly. Up to you.
