I'm not sure if this counts compared to the other posts here, but for me, for many years, r/wallstreetbets.

I think this actually falls in line with most subreddits. You build or support a community because you want to discuss something and there isn't anywhere else to do it.

This is kind of a loose interpretation of the "gets a lot of attention" requirement though.

I’ve run a community for 10 years now, I’m extremely burned out. You have to make so many compromises and babysit so many idiots it really saps the fun out of everything. I’m tired of being Literally Hitler because I have to ban someone or mediate other histrionic meltdowns.

Also after awhile it grows so much you don’t even know everyone anymore, and you pretty much don’t care. My discord has 11k members and I don’t even read 80% of the channels anymore lol

I always wanted to be the big webmaster guy when I was young, but the reality can be a bitter pill.
