For me, there isn't a specific sub I would like to bring over per se. It's more the people.

My point is, I used to be able to go into a thread starting with "what's your favourite bread" and the top comments would be discussing which submarine could stay under water the longest, because thats just the way the discussion evolved.

Now, all I get is "this thread is locked" or some boring answer thats in no way related to the titles question in the first place (lawyers/bakers/delivery men/women of X, whats the X time your job involved X? "I'm not X, but etc")

I hope Saidit would bring a fresh breath of air in that department, but only time will tell.

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.
