I miss a lot of the niche hobby subs, the non-image sex related subs, justrolledintotheshop, *swap subs, and some of the *sales subs. I have other forums where I can fulfill some of these and it was nice to have them all in one place.

I feel like the sports communities are lacking critical mass and for some reason I just don’t see content from some of the small communities (specifically magic the gathering for me) pop up on my feed. Like it’d be nice the algo pushed them more since I am subbed and want to participate.

That's odd. Do they at least show up in your home feed if you sort by new?

Hmmm yeah that seems to do the trick. mtg isn’t that active but I see some other the other niche coms when I sort that way.

You could also try the Scaled algorithm, which was recently added with the new update. It's supposed to adjust for the size of the community so that the posts from large communities don't overwhelm your feed

That worked! Thanks for the tip.

I'd like there to be an active beer money community and also one for foster parents myself. Those were quite useful on Reddit.

It's surprising the psychological difference of "net seventeen people think you're an asshole" vs "twenty people think you're an asshole, but three people get you".

FYI, a browser plugin called Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES) exposed the vote breakdown on Reddit as well, although like all scores on reddit, it was fuzzed to confound cheaters.

That's when the mods hit you with their downvote button
