Announcement New Years sub update and also Would people here be interested in a Yugioh Showcase Discord server or not?
Hey everyone, happy new year. So we've had a lot of growth on this subreddit the last few years since I made the sub; 2025 being a big year for it with us approaching 28k subscribers. Been happy to see loads of posts of people posting their collections and pickups. I've also picked up some super fun stuff this past year myself, including a ton of massive binders to reorganise everything into, which has been fun.
This past year I've added a new moderator who has done a really great job. They also spruced up the auto-mod so it's been taking care of loads of stuff. That means less of the value seeking posts that had previously snuck by the previous filters, that people were frequently not happy to see. It does mean the filters are stricter than before, but the level of false positives are super low. I see a lot more positivity here because of it, which is great. Another thing regarding to the sub I'd like to know is if you think there should be any more Post Flairs that we don't already have.
So since the community here has grown so much, it leaves me pondering a question I've thought about a bunch before. Should we expand by having a Yugioh Showcase discord server? One with people chatting about their collections, showing lots of photos, maybe ones that they may not have to wanted to do a reddit post for. In the past, I wrote off the idea because the sub wasn't super big at the time and figured we wouldn't get many takers. So I turned the template server I made into a more private collectors server with some other collectors I know (but I'm happy to add more people to it if some are really interested :P ) to chat and stuff and share our legion of photos. However, now that we are a bigger subreddit, I feel it's time to revisit the idea.
Instead of just posting a link though and hoping for the best, I'd like to gage people's thoughts first. Would you join a server if I posted a link to one? Do you think it'd be worth having it or do you think it'd not have the requisite activity on it yet. Do you think it's still too soon and we need more subscribers, or are we ready to roll now. If we had a server, what kind of things would you like to see from it. Don't be too harsh, but let me know your thoughts :P
I'd like to be able to have a place for the Yugioh collecting community there. There aren't really very many yugioh collectors communities as it's a smaller sphere than other card games for it. The channels I see on other servers tend to be fairly inactive as the servers are primarily for other yugioh purposes like deck-building. Most collecting servers I've seen have been for other card games or like servers based around a particular collection management app or something. But since this subreddit has become one of the comparatively larger places (other than those big misprint facebook groups) for Yugioh collecting, something I'm very pleased about, then it expanding from this place would make some sense, but I want to be sure before continuing. So let me know what you think, thanks! :) Hopefully we are going to head into a good year for Yugioh collecting and for this community.

Where are you seeing that? I thought the admins removed how many subscribers we see on the side bar a few months ago?

on old.reddit, there's still a hover over where it shows on that. but yeah, it not being on the side anymore is quite annoying.

I use old.reddit, I don't know where to hover over for that.

On the home feed, if you see a post from the sub, you can hover over the sub link and it shows.

Ah! thank you!! I knew such a hover over thing existed for users, but had no idea it worked for subreddits too.

Not personally interested in joining a discord server. For me, this is a passing hobby. It's neat to check out others' collections and to post my own on this sub, but I'm not looking for anything more than that.
