    at 1 million active users though. Just need enough critical mass to be able to branch into more smaller sublemmys which draws in the fans of those subs specifically

    I was responding kind of someone else as well, but where are these numbers coming from?

    Is it truly 1 million? Or maybe 500k? Or maybe 2 million?

    People seem to be using numbers so arbitrarily.

      I think somewhere between 1-4 million would be a good cross section of interests without a critical mass of users

        I think somewhere between 1-4 million would be a good cross section

        500K (for example) people talking in communities wouldn’t be enough?

        How did you derive the 1-4 million number?

          Just a really quick estimate based on the size of the subreddits I once enjoyed that by their nature need to be larger. Things like /r/cfb, /r/nba, /r/FreeFolk
