There's nothing wrong with subdividing a group that gets too large, the problem is there is no obvious impetus to do that.
- tommi 13y agoI agree, but on the other hand, wouldn't that make HN effectively Reddit? There is some value in the whole group being together.
- GhotiFish 13y agono ones suggesting to actually have subreddits, just subdivision. How about just arbitrary partitions? Create random sub-communities of 500 active users, show stores submitted between those 500 first, then those top stories to the rest of hacker news. That kills three birds with one stone: You get smaller community thinking, people are more willing to submit stories to smaller groups, and people are more willing to see new stories. There's tones of ways you can subdivide a community! I am envious of their opportunity to try something. Hacker News is free, they can do what they want! They should have some fun with it.
- gus_massa 13y agoCan I be in the partition with patio11 and tokenadult, please?
