Every day reddit powers thousands of active communities. Yesterday there were 5,900 subreddits that received more than 5 posts or comments and tens of thousands that received at least one post or comment. Most subreddits are small and usually pretty quiet. We all love the large, busy subreddits, but make sure you venture out of the crowds and explore some of reddit's small towns.
