Reddit forums are basically conversation streams in real time, with a window of opportunity to chime in before it scrolls away. Looking at only the fountain pen area, I look at reddit like walking into a room of people, with varying degrees of pen knowledge and experience, and asking a question. You never know who will be in the room, and what amount and quality of information you might get. I look at a long-running pen forum, like FPN, or maybe FPG, as akin to walking into a library full of fountain pen books, and doing research until I find the answer with all the material that is stored there.
