I dunno about this. I REALLY like the idea of fragmenting the whole user base. When a community gets too big it ceases to be a community.
Why does the whole internet need to see then same content, and be a collective hivemind?
Whats wrong with the current user size we have on this current community? Id even argue its too big already. If it blows up by 100x we run back to having posts with 10k replies, 20 or so which everyone will read. Its a really dumb system
I like both, in their own time and place. For memes, news, etc? I don't usually need to comment on those posts, but I do like there to be a steady stream of new content from a bunch of people. In that case, I'd love there to just be a bigger community, even if I don't feel like my comments (if I made them) would be read.
However, if I'm trying to have discussions about Magic, Zelda, teaching, or cooking, then I would rather have the smaller community to actually have discussions. Even it that case though, having one place as a "news aggregator" for that hobby would be nice.
