I think there is already way too many subs in the default list. It makes the platform appear dead when you click on so many subs only to find no one is posting on them. Default should have only had about 20 or 30 subs to begin with and that number would have increased organically as users created niche interest subs.

Good points.

The default sub list has a very well-rounded selection for any "normal" forum with average interests across the board.

The problems that you address can be fixed by adding the subs that are actually busy on SaidIt, and perhaps dropping some that are not as busy, though IMO they could stay, such as: /s/Comics, /s/Dogecoin, /s/DownTheMemoryHole, /s/Dreams, /s/Earth, /s/GIFs, /s/Help, /s/Introductions, /s/maps, /s/MeanwhileOnVoat, /s/Offbeat, /s/Pics, /s/Piracy, /s/Rothschilds, /s/SaidItCanary, /s/TIL, /s/Videos. Those are good subs but they're not used too regularly.

My long list in the OP (just as many as exist in the default plus a dozen, give or take) also includes some SaidIt subs that are good but not used too regularly. IMO quality is often more important than quantity. And of course there are some very busy subs that really ought to be included. Perhaps these should factor in somehow.

Yes I agree. Perhaps only drop the ones that have not been posted on at all or for over year especially if their topic already overlaps with other subs. I also think you should add regional subs. One thing about reddit that irks me is the tyrannical censorship on some of the regional subs. For example when Tiffany Dover died they shadowbanned posts about it on the Alabama and Tennessee subs where she is from.

So how about a Florida sub. I would like to post things related to Florida.
