My favorite subreddits were those that had a good 25k active users. Enough that there were a good 2500 active posters and commenters, and people knew each other a little. However, some support subreddits with 100k+ were nice.
How are you counting active users? I’ve checked the subreddits I enjoy and none of them have more than 1k users active right now. Given default subs such as worldnews are showing 33k active users right now, I can assume you’re measuring it differently than I am (as the way I’m measuring has varying results with time).
I also wonder how many active users Lemmy/Kbin instances/communities/magazines have. It would be interesting to know to get a feel for how the amount of active users correlates to the overall feeling of community.

Subscribed users. A large subscribed community (10k+) usually resulted in an active user community (~100 active at any given time)
