MODERATORS
Only thing which isn't great is the fragmentation of communities. For example having several different soccer communities, or several diff gaming ones, etc.
I don't necessarily see this as a problem. Part of me yearns for the days of vbulletin and phpBB forums, where each one was small enough that it had its own unique culture and feel. You "knew" the people you were interacting with and were able to build camaraderie with fellow forum members.I couldn't tell you the username of 99% of the people I engaged with on Reddit. Having a huge, monolithic community ala Reddit completely destroys any sort of culture of the community.
This is the best of both worlds, in my eyes. Naturally, certain communities in certain instances will become the community for a topic, but with the added benefit of being able to find a smaller, more focused community elsewhere.
The problem is how do you know how a community feels?
I search for "word" and see 12 different servers for the exact same word, which would I go for? For now it's the one with the most subscribers
You browse it and lurk for a bit and see which ones you like the most.
