I would want to see a bigger mod team. 1-2 person mod teams rarely go well, and there’s too much influence from each person. The best mod teams tend to consist of 5-6 people.
In general, I would also prefer a discussion forum. Pictures and news articles have their place occasionally, especially if they’re conducive to discussion, but in general discussion based posts are (in my personal opinion) preferable for this type of community, and the previous sub was very much oriented around that.
As the community grows, megathreads might be of value - a big issue with the previous sub was that a lot of longtime users would just leave because new users would just keep posting the same questions over and over again, so there wasn’t a lot of retention, which is too bad - it’s nice to have a mix of new and more seasoned users.
