Except that's not what happened. What you're describing was very rare. The vast majority of the time, terrible subs with terrible mods or user bases stayed entrenched, alternatives never took off. The main sub would always get recommended, it was the one Google would show, it was the one that hit the front page, the small subs just never got that exposure and most dwindled.
It was a big issue people didn't talk about much, and I like that Lemmy isn't worrying about consolidating.
