I don’t know what the demographics are at that sub, but there typically isn’t any conversations I feel like I’d enjoy being a part of. Basically every post is either blatant karma farming or some casual asking what all they need to read before Last Ronin.
This place lost a lot of people but I still enjoy it. (Seems like the mods went a little nuts with the ban hammer after I left, after not using it enough for years).

i.e. Nobody cares that you finally "got the book," this isn't FB, we don't need to know every little thing you do. Come back when you read it and actually have something to say about it, at which point it is worthy of a post (maybe).
And that one certain karma farmer type (if you lurk enough you prob know the one) needs to be banned from all the subs she(?) spams with the same crap every damn day. Looking at her history, she'll alter the same questions for various subs and spam them all over. People tried to tell her she could make certain topics all ONE post and she seemed to grasp that...for a moment.
Maybe I'm just an old grouch now, but "kids these days" don't seem too capable of conversations that are worth having anymore. There's so little of substance coming from much of them. And the younger Risers seem to be more interested in playing dolls with their own mental RP with it and coming up with their own "headcanon" than discussing anything canon in the franchise others can actually relate to and care about.

That's reddit in a nutshell, I'm afraid. The place is one huge circlejerk. Protip: the larger a sub is, the more it suffers from typical reddit BS. r/TMNT has 124,000 members as of today. It's not a small sub by any means. The best reddit communities tend to be smaller ones on average.
