Think our problem is that there still aren't enough people. What are the unique advantages of a small community?

I don't know if it's "unique" but for me, its the predictability. With a small dedicated community, you sort of know that the people that are there, are truly interested in the subject and not just there to shitpost.

On the other hand, with a larger community, the chance to learn something new grows exponentially, but you also run the risk of adding certain peoples opinion/shitposting, that you were trying to avoid in the first place.

Agree. Large communities means that, statistically, there will end up being decent content - even if there's relatively more shitposting.
