It seems that a common thread is that Reddit (and Redditlikes) fail when the topic is too big.

I generally use Reddit for small topics. My home town is 80,000 people embedded in a county with a total of 150,000. Our locale-based subreddit works fine (admittedly with a lot of predictable and repeated whining from certain demographics). Our moderators are rarely in sight or even detectable.



Agreed, but locale sub-reddits are usually the fastest sustained growth forums on there and the power of the mods is exceptionally realistic.
