Do you find smaller communities better than large ones for discussions?

Do you guys find smaller communities better than larger ones when it comes to actual discussions?

In bigger groups, there’s always activity, but a lot of conversations feel surface-level or get lost quickly. In smaller communities, it seems easier to follow discussions, people engage more, and ideas actually develop over time.

I’ve been noticing that difference more lately — feels like smaller groups tend to be more consistent, and people actually talk rather than just dropping messages and disappearing.

At the same time, larger communities do have the advantage of more perspectives and faster information flow.

Curious what others prefer — fast-moving large communities, or smaller groups where discussions are more focused and interactive
