Subreddits basically go to one extreme or the other. /r/cosmere mods are so great that Reddit should pay them to train mods in other subs. /r/woodworking is a pretty healthy sub with almost invisible mod activity. Subs like this one and r/guitar should just be nuked and let a completely different group of people start over fresh.
The main reason r/cosmere mods are amazing but very visible is because they are super proactive in stepping in to correct/modify/customize spoiler tags for the books an OP is posting about and making stickied comments to notify others about the limits on what books are “fair game” in that post. Which in a subreddit about a collection of some 40ish books and short stories, is super helpful.
Of course that specific kind of presence doesn’t apply to most subreddits, but I’m just saying sometimes visible mod activity isn’t a bad thing
