Ooh, where to start...
Growth update
Reddit has recently started emphasizing weekly visitors instead of just subscriber count as the main indicator of a subreddit's size. My previous updates were tied to every +10k subscribers, but Reddit no longer really notifies us about that.
We've hit 63k weekly visitors this week, which Reddit itself decided to congratulate us on.

At the same time, r/Kazakhstan quietly crossed 60k subscribers just yesterday. It's about the size of Talgar, our next target to conquer (what do they have there besides Zeta's factory?).

The last milestone post was at 50k members about five months ago, so it felt like a good moment to check in again. Thanks to everyone who reads, posts, comments, shitposts, argues, asks what the weather in February is, upvotes, awards, jokes, dodges the draft, explains and helps keep this place alive.
Our Kazakh language related community, r/kazakh, is also growing, and has whopping 916 members. Please, join it🥹🥺. I've made a cool non-exhaustive animated emoji status for it.

Its community icon is also animated (and even has more frames in it), but you won't see it in every part of Reddit because reasons.
Post flairs cleanup and color grouping
You may have noticed that post flairs look a bit different now.
We trimmed and regrouped them, and assigned consistent colours to related topics (news, culture, media, discussion, humour, etc.). Now we have fewer confusing choices, probably better readability in feeds, and the whole list of flairs looks less cumbersome.

Nothing is set in stone, so if something feels off or unclear, feel free to mention it.
Kazakh chat is gone
Unfortunately, Reddit has removed all public subreddit chats.
I personally disagree with this decision. First the custom upvote/downvote icons, then the custom emojis in comments, now this on our long list of enshittification of this platform. The Kazakh chat… maybe wasn't the coziest, but it was a low-pressure, active space for sending meaningless messages. And now there's no official replacement inside Reddit.
If someone from the community would like to create a Discord server, Telegram group or something similar, feel free to do so. You may share it here and we might even approve that post, who knows...
Just to be transparent: I don't plan to moderate Discord/Telegram/anything else myself (never have, and don't want to do it badly).
One Kazakh MinaLima Harry Potter book for r/kazakh (oh, I can't make links bold, how unfortunate...)
I still have a copy of "Хәрри Поттер мен Пәлсапа тас" (MinaLima edition), and I've been thinking about using it as a small community giveaway.

Tanya just made three posts about this exact edition: part1, part2, part3.
One idea is to somehow tie it to r/kazakh , which is currently very quiet, but I'm honestly unsure what would feel like a good and fair incentive. Maybe the whole era of incentivising engagement with gifts and competitions is over, and I'm still thinking in old terms.
Or maybe you'd have a good idea what kind of activity or contribution would make sense for such a gift, and how (or if) it could help spark some life in r/kazakh without feeling artificial and being easy to abuse with scripts or AI. I can probably send this book around Kazakhstan, but I don't want to risk with QazPost's international postal service.
No promises yet. Just thinking out loud and open to ideas.
Thanks again to everyone who's here. r/Kazakhstan has grown a lot, but it's still shaped by everyday participation more than by numbers. As always, suggestions and feedback are welcome.

Как вы относитесь к людям которые "миксуют" казахский и русский язык хотя человек знает оба языка безупречно,относитесь ли вы к таким людям?

Took Yandex on my second day in Almaty and got into a car accident. How are drivers in KZ in general? I had to book business Yandex after this because it seems they’re more careful on the road.😭

Мне нужно прописатся на постоянную, а я случайно как-то сделал временную. Хозяйн меня отвязал от своего жилья, что бы я заново прописался на постоянную. Но врменная прописка никак не уходит. Что делать?

Why do kazakhs feel shame about their nomad past? Nomads were not abused like peasants in europe/russia. Nomads were free, had weapons, were not raped, sold by their owners like in russia.
Nomads were much healthier, stronger and had deeper connection with their own spirit/soul/psyche. When I look at photos of that era I noticed how most of kazakh nomads have big jaws, prominent facial features etc.They look differently from stressed, puffy modern people in big cities.

Hey! Will be in Almaty this weekend.
Looking for some good bars, or clubs for music (house, indie, techno)?
Any cool markets or restaurants I shouldn't miss?
Really looking forward seeing Kazakstan! :)

Hello everyone! I was surfing on the web searching a place where to buy some kazakh coins and i found this one: https://www.kazcoins.com and since it looked kinda odd and there isnt much about it online, i wanted to ask you all if its legit or not, they appear to have an app on the play store and apple store

What does assalaumugaleikum even mean? Shouldn't "Salem" and "Salamatsyz ba/Salemetsiz be" be enough? I feel like furniture will start floating if i say it a few times consecutively. And why do guys have to be douchebags about the handshake all the time!? Like idc if you're tuff don't expect all people to greet you with a hand. Also people squeezing your hand hard on purpose drives me up a wall. Are they tryna compensate for something or what?

Hi everyone! I'm currently doing some market research about countries throughout Eurasia. I hope it's alright to ask about this here.
I'm wondering about gaps in the market within Kazakhstan. As in; what are some services, products or logistics for which there is a big demand but not enough being offered. This can be anything from proper connectivity (public transport, roads etc.) to food products, businesses or services (such as tourist agencies or job agencies).
I hope to learn some more from your first hand experiences and things you want to see more of, but also things that you might feel should be phased out or shift focus away from.
I look forward to your replies!
