No offense meant, but if we don’t have enough active contributors to make the /c/foodporn community active, what good is fragmenting a fledging community and losing the visibility gained from posting in one area with high traffic?
Surely the strategy here should be to build a critical mass of followers in one community, then split into category specific communities based on feedback from the users on what is or is not desired. Organic growth into multiple topics vs splintering a community that’s basically my food plus or minus a half dozen posts a week. Someone wining that they get no traffic doesn’t really incentive me to post in their communities.
