The fragmentation of Reddit CD community

Hi, this is my first post on this sub, so... sorry for starting on a low note 😳 I hope that discussion about this kind of meta is allowed 😳

I feel like the Reddit crossdressing community got more fragmented than ever. Folks affiliated with r/Crossdresser_Faces (which itself seems to be more active than r/crossdressing these days) seem to have recently launched a bunch of sister subs. Some of them different enough from the rest to feel justified - like this one, or r/CD_Dreams specifically for AI pics - it just makes sense for there to be a dedicated place for that 👍 Others... not so much, as a couple of recently launched subs seem to have no differentiating features compared to other, more established ones.

All in all, there seem to be at least 12 (see the list below) more or less general purpose crossdressing subs that are decently active, with seemingly very little differentiation between them other than slightly different moderation rules.

I know that many of you girls post in multiple of those, others have migrated between different ones, so I wonder:

• Which subs are your favorites and why?
• What makes you prefer one over the other?
• How do you deal with this fragmentation?
• If you post to multiple subs, how do you deal with the attention, upvotes and comments getting split between different posts?
• Which subs, if any, do you follow through your main page feed or notifications?

And also, do you feel like this is a problem (as the community gets less and less united), or a good thing (because there's more options so people have more chance of finding a place that suits them)?

For reference, I've compiled a list of what I believe to be all the relevant crossdressing-related subreddits, sorted by the number of weekly posts at the time of writing:

• r/Crossdresser_Faces (14K)
• r/crossdressing (13K)
• r/Crossdress_Expression (3.6K)
• r/CrossDressRealism (1.9K)
• r/Crossdressing_support (590)
• r/classycrossdressers (580)
• r/CD_makeup (496)
• r/crossdresser_style (464)
• r/Crossdresser_Fashion (388)
• r/CrossdressersSelfies (318)
• r/crossdressinghaven (270)
• r/Crossdressing_Cuties (169)

And for reference to that reference, here's the list of my (somewhat arbitrary) criteria for inclusion in the above list:

• mentions "crossdress" or "CD" in subreddit name (as a differentiation from trans/queer/etc. communities on one side, or sissy/femboy/etc. ones on the other)
• not focused on any specific demographic (e.g., age groups or geographic areas)
• publicly visible at least for browsing
• core content is photos of girls like us (in particular, is not text-only like this one)
• SFW-ish, i.e., doesn't allow nudity or focus on lingerie/fetish content, regardless of Reddit NSFW flag status (but allowing lingerie isn't disqualifying in itself)
• at least 100 "weekly posts" at the time of compiling the list (note: 168 corresponds to one post every hour on average, 10K is approximately one every minute)
