    Big enough so that the flow of new content and discussion is constant, but not so big that the community culture suffers.

    I found that subreddits of about 20-30k people are the most civil while still being active enough to remain interesting. I suspect there's a natural societal reason for that, which will translate to snapzu and elsewhere.

    Kind of lines up with what people consider a large town or small city in my area of the world, which is what seems to be the most desirable for me personally. Stuff to do, but less headache.

      That is a very apt description. And one I agree with. I'd like to be able to recognize those I have common interests with, but still be able to meet new people without having to go mingle at ... say Burning Man.

      I agree with this statement, whenever a subreddit or any type of social media becomes too popular, it starts to become repetitive and degraded overall. Take the default subreddits for example, which get flooded with reposts and karma whoring.
