I keep asking this, but it never gets much attention - but why can't reddit put more effort in to a hierarchical structure.
As others have said some of the best contents is in the smaller sub-reddits, but they often struggle to get much content because people feel that to get any "attention" they have to post in a sub-reddit. I feel people would be encouraged to submit to smaller sub-reddits if there was a hierarchical structure whereby if a story did well in a sub-reddit, it would get to the front page of the next sub-reddit above it - so I might submit to /r/Dundee which leads to /r/Scotland which leans to /r/UnitedKingdom etc
I'm sure there would be some clever way to structure and control this. It would breathe life in to the smaller sub-reddits.
- waterlesscloud 12y agoSome of the best subreddits have rules that you're not to link to any post in the sub anywhere else on Reddit. They don't want more attention, they feel it will decrease their quality, and they're probably right.
- raldi 12y agoI worked there from 2008-2011 and always wanted to implement exactly this, but at that time we only had 5 +/- 1 employees so nobody ever had the time. Now that they have dozens of employees I wish they'd put this high up on their roadmap. As a nearby comment points out, it would be the next step on reddit's journey toward reincarnating the golden age of Usenet.
