1. They would use it instead of creating a new subreddit, because as I mentioned above it will be in another language and country, there is no such portal. 2.

1. They would use it instead of creating a new subreddit, because as I mentioned above it will be in another language and country, there is no such portal. 2. It will have better site architecture/sharing system/notification and commenting system than traditional discussion forums. 3. Building "between" doesn't mean it will be something mutant. Structural like reddit, from community philosophy perspective like HN is a good system, I think.

I've always wanted to see reddit do more internationally. I've traveled quite a bit and met plenty of redditors who've shared the desire for a better internationalized site to replace the out-dated forum technology most of their fellow countrymen/women use for essentially the same purpose. We're open-source, btw! So please take the lessons from Steve's brilliant commenting system: http://code.reddit.com http://code.reddit.com

  I know. The problem is, it's about Azerbaijan. I think you understood.

    Ah, that's definitely not a market we'll be hitting anytime soon. I say go for it. Take the best lessons from reddit and make something Azeris want.

      I live in Germany, but I can say you that you are one of most discussed topics in Azerbaijans internet sphere. Probably you didn't know that.

The Google/Facebook/Reddit interfaces are available in dozens of languages. Millions of people who aren't from the U.S. use those platforms, so clearly most Internet users don't find that using sites aimed at multiple nationalities is in any way troublesome. I'm not saying it won't work, I'm just wondering why you're planning on targeting one specific demographic in particular? I remember when nation-specific sites were much more common, now that's increasingly not the case. If you think your architecture / notification system etc. is going to be better you'd be doing yourself a disservice by making it overly narrow. Anyway. I don't mean to be dismissive of your idea. But to me it sounds a lot like "I want to set up a discussion forum for my country". Without any of the details about why your countrymen would sign up, what they're using now to communicate and why they'd be motivated to switch to your platform.

  To find out some of pissible "why"s, I started this thread. My question is, why someone would prefer my "Reddit" instead of other sites. What is the secret of reddit's success.
