digitalmars.D - Please consider r/d_language for announcements

Many users judge programming languages by activity on their 
subreddits. Ours is https://www.reddit.com/r/d_language/

One purpose of the subreddit is to market the language to 
non-users. I want to provide those new to the language with:

- Evidence that D is a serious, actively used language
- Information about everything that is available

For instance, I just posted about the new ggplotd release. This 
is a really nice tool, but if we only make announcements of these 
projects in the announce forum, we're losing the marketing points 
we could be getting from them. Therefore, please consider 
announcing there.

The sub could be branded a bit too. Afaik this requires admin privileges.
