I think the rush to recreate communities is a bad idea. (kbin.social)

If you recall reddits growth many of their communities evolved as offshoots of a single generic community. This made it easier for people to see discussions they normally would not get involved in, and once the posts in a similar category reached critical mass it moved to a sub Reddit.

I think people are recreating their niche communities here but they are floundering since the user base is still pretty small. Maybe it’s best to post to the “big” communities until the time is right to move to smaller, targeted communities?

I mean, you're right, but it's pretty inevitable. There will be a natural wave of creations, inactivity and reclaimings that will take place over the coming couple of years.

For now though, this is wild west internet, so trying to control it would be similar to trying to herd cats with firecrackers.

That statement about herding cats will stay with me for a bit.
