Seems like the way for reddit to "solve" this is to just close bad subs.

But that's easily exploited, if people migrate to other subs and start protesting the sub closures, those subs get worse and they need to be closed...

Oh no, reddit, did you just discover that you relied on your users to make your site good and by screwing them over you've made your entire business unsustainable at scale?

Also, somewhat related, is there a short snappy name for lemmy communities? Some people call them subs out of habit but I don't wanna do that, and "communities" is four whole syllables, and ain't nobody got time for that.

I'd like the name to be "community feed" and "feeds" for short. Reddit was always essentially a collective rss with voting weights. In this way "subs" would still work since one subscribes to the feeds.

Ultimately it's something the devs need to encourage though
