Most people who landed on Reddit found not just a place for their interests and questions, but a community already there, already active. People entered a hive of discussion and narratives already in progress.
Here and now, there is fumbling in the dark to be expected, and with no muscle memory of this, so far much quieter place, which has the drywall and plumbing and electrical still a bit exposed.
There's also a surge of folks understanding that the communities they loved might become inaccessible via Reddit fuckery, or even that replacements on other platforms need to exist so that if people go looking - it exists for them to join.
Communities are rarely self-building, but having a readily accessible and intuitive subreddit/magazine name for your topic certainly helps - you need to have enough traffic and enough activity that there's something happening when a newbie stumbles across your space. Getting the on-point keyword really makes a huge difference in that.
