This is a good point. Some users prefer being in a community with a lower number of subscribers. Not everyone wants to post in a community with a million users so having big and small communities for the same thing isn't necessarily a bad thing. It gives people the choice to decide which one they want to participate in.
Right, I don't know if anyone would want to post in a super giant community like reddit. Your post just gets lost in the void, content gets completely dumbed dumb, and no one knows anyone because there is too many users. This was a huge of appeal of the old time forums which got killed with reddit. I think the internet is going to fundamentally change.
