Thanks. That thread was helpful, though troubling.

I came here thinking this might be a good place to start a forum on Lyme Disease. I like the reddit software scheme, and I like that downvotes are not supported, since IME they poison any sense of community.

I don't like the drama, though. And now that I think about it, all posts going to /s/all is problematic. It would be better for my purposes if the threads were constrained to an interested Lyme community rather than attract drive-by's.

And in light of the high Readers numbers I had seen throughout the site, I'm shocked to learn there are so few still active.

Food for thought. Be well.

Subs can be kept off of s/all, and s/all/comments. There's one called something like lgbdropthet (m7 mentioned and linked it a couple days ago) that's pretty active, but separate from the rest of saidit.

If you don't already have a userbase, hiding your sub will make it very difficult to attract users.

As for the drama, I haven't been on a site that lacked drama. It's less here than most other places.

Looks like he doesn't own it anymore. If you're interested, you could check with u/d3rr or m7 to see about becoming the new owner.

Ok. Thanks for that. I thought I had picked up somewhere than subs could be kept off /s/all. I will give this some thought. Be well.
