Generalised communities or specific? (beehaw.org)

What do we think is best?

If we start bringing in all the reddit-style groups, there would be a lot of niche areas.

For example: Australian Plants, Australian Birds, Australian Wildlife, Gardening Australia, Permaculture Australia and that's just a fraction of niche areas under a larger umbrella.

Now, all this above could be under Environment or Green or something similar but at some point, if this instance got popular, would need to be fractured apart. What is best? General or lots of communities for now?

Personally I think General but later on down the track, it means some contained content would be lost to the move and it's a start again process.

I agree that being more general might help to produce more active communities to start with. Perhaps over time as people are requesting more communities there should be a voting threshold or poll system to see if enough people are interested before fragmenting a general community into more specific ones?
