To see if it makes sense to encourage more community forks, starting last week some redditors will begin to see a prompt encouraging them to create a new community about a popular post. If this is something that redditors find helpful and fun, we’ll look into expanding the feature and exploring more ways to fork communities
Let me bring the future to you and say already: this feature is not going to be liked.
What you describe is something that happens organically and by the user's own decision. *Suggesting* an action based on something "popular" is exactly the type of things Reddit users tend to absolutely hate, especially if this is something you are just copying from past behavior, which is just a way to make t artificial and strip it of everything that made it fun on the first place.

Absolutely. It’s just going to create unnecessary waste and confusion. We also don’t need more “communities” with abusive/shitty mods that corpo Reddit completely ignores.
