This is a good development (creating a megathread) - good for user engagement and retention here.
As someone who doesn’t enjoy megathreads, is it just because people don’t want to see multiple articles in their feed? I’ve seen megathreads
Mod megathread’s also seems like an overreach of moderator’s role. They are now in the driver seat of a pinned, mega popular post and it goes to their head (I’ve been in communities before where they just start blanketing megathreads for anything that’s gaining traction and squash even legitimate posts). They now also have added workload onto themselves by having to curate even further what gets posted at their discretion (and competing with their own post).
It really depends, also a bit of an experiment. There are is a plusside and downside imo. Until now, with 4k- 8k users it wasn’t necessariy and most users didn’t like it afaik. It creates also some ambiguity for mods & users, as what and how to post , engage and react and so. We’ll see how it goes.
