IMO, 50 000 subscribers is about the tipping point for subreddit quality. Beyond that number things start to go down hill real fast. You also don't want too few subscribers, however, or there will be too little new content posted. At about 10 000 subscribers, the amount of posts should be high enough that there's always something to see.
- toomanybeersies 11y agoThe one exception to that, that I've found, is /r/homebrewing. It's >100,000 now, but is still a great community. I think it's a much different demographic to the rest of reddit though, a lot of contributors don't really use any other subreddits and are older.
