That depends on the sub. If you join some massive sub sure but in /r/silverbugs for example we have a Monday thread where we talk about what's going on in our lives as well as similar, newer, Friday thread and several people have even met up offline. We've got a lot of shared jokes and stuff in /r/mysteriousuniverse too related to the podcast by the same name and are pretty tight-knit.
- txcwpalpha 8y agoI've noticed this in a lot of smaller subs and I agree that there is a much better sense of community, and in general, a much better experience. With the smaller community tends to be higher quality content and less of a propensity for small, minute details to launch a vitriolic argument. However, being attached to the larger reddit "network" can easily ruin those communities. All it takes is a single front page r/AskReddit thread where a top comment says "check out r/[small_community_here], it's great!" and that pretty much spells the end of that small, tight-knit community. It's the age old problem that's not at all unique to online communities: everyone wants to be part of the cool, fun communities/bars/neighborhoods. But if everyone crowds in, that community/bar/neighborhood isn't as cool or fun anymore.
