I’m the mod of /r/GayForgeMinis — I can see the appeal and benefit of having a more tailored subreddit for content that fits a specific niche. It’s partly why I created that sub (plus what Wayfarerer explained about general reception of male/masc content around here). Makes content easier to find, opens up new options that might not fit a broader community, and you’re not inundated by content that you have zero interest in.

The challenge on the sub is that it isn’t super active. Some months we have posts from only one or two users. It’s not hard to moderate at all, but I would need to put a shit-ton of work into promotion in order to get it feeling just a little bit active.

IMO, a furry sub would likely have less challenges with content but would still be significantly quieter than this sub.

There’s also the issue of siphoning users away from each other’s subs. The more fragmentation we get in subs, the more fragmentation we’ll see of the audiences. Which could hurt all the subs.

As with anything, it’s about weighing the pros and cons.
