Did Reddit get massive because of Digg users making a beeline towards them or were they already big before that?

Not sure about the new sub if the existing users have migrated to the new sub thing.

'front page' feeds would need to change as well with this because a lot of the time people are upcoting stuff they agree with or find funny without looking at the sub it's been posted on.

This means a lot of subs could be deposed for generic meme subs just because they popular.

Yeah that is a good point. I think it would need some permissions managment, like "only community members can vote" or "only community members can see posts". And those might be attached to every post or not depending on how the community is configured.

You also have the ability to restrict users based on certain rules or roles. Like on Reddit, no posting if your account is less than X days old, etc.. Certain members may be allowed to upvote but not post etc..

You may set it so new users can only see any posts made after they joined or not. And then they are also exempted from forking those posts.

Automatic timeouts for when posts should be deleted would also be nice. Also togglable community wise.

Basically setting the platform up to be as public or as private as the community wants.

Would be pretty complex though and not that essential. And might break the whole fork model.
