I'd also like to see this happen.

I think there are two effects at play there.

One is network effect, Reddit is by far bigger and better-known, so noobs tend to flock there. The sad part is, they are much less likely to get a useful answer than they would on SN.

Second is, the average SN user is already way more sophisticated than the average redditor and thus less likely to need basic help.

What imho SN needs is more marketing (perhaps targetting bitcoin newbies specifically), so that the user base grows organically, as opposed to being a shelter for intellectuals fleeing from the toxic cesspool that is Reddit (it is my thesis that this is currently the case).

The idea for this territory is not a failure, but perhaps too early or just needs more patience and external work.
