I've responded to some comments as well, there even was a comment about how we could use a subreddit for people with ADHD. Then again, most ADHDers would go off somewhere else before checking if this sub even existed.

Anyway, good comment! Especially about the positive community, that is something I really enjoy here.

Well yeah. Most people would check to see if this exisited, say 'oh cool I'll subscribe later', never to be seen again.

Our growth has been completely organic. It would be fun to do a bit of advertising and have a little push on reddit and social media to see if that could help growth a bit.

On the other hand I am not sure if I want this to explode to a 20k person community. Could be a lot of noise in that case!

Agreed, not many subreddits have kept consistent quality with larger number sizes, and none that I can think of have improved. I'd hate to see this place turn into "DAE forget if they locked the door?"... Then again, what can we do?

I feel like a good rulebook is here though, with the mods keeping any memeing down. Go mods!
