Quota-Style or Reddit-Style: Which Community Model Scales Better?

[Serene]

Quora-style Q&A versus Reddit-style discussion threads have different dynamics. Which approach allows better growth for niche audiences? Do you blend models, or focus on one to build a loyal user base?

Reddit-style scales better because it relies on organic user-driven content rather than rigid quotas. When users create and moderate discussions themselves, engagement grows naturally, attracting more members without heavy top-down management. Quota systems can feel forced and often discourage genuine participation over time.
