    I think there’s a few things. Firstly, it depends on whether you have a mod team. Asking for more mods is an antidote to power mods. The best mod teams consist of 5-6 people. It also depends on whether you’re ok to let some of those communities go eventually - one person shouldn’t have the final say on 100 communities. Finally, it depends on whether you have 10 communities or 100. 10 is “enthusiastic”, 100 is “uhhhhhh”.

    If you want more communities than you can manage, go around and start asking for mods, either in adjacent subs or on reddit. Once a community is set up and you feel you have a good team, pare down a bit. Subs are more successful with more mods at first anyway - there are more people to create content and promote the community.
