The support and openness you mention can create a welcoming environment, but that doesn't necessarily mean the connections formed are meaningful or lasting — it's the quality of interaction, not just the willingness to share, that matters.

The problem isn't just about vulnerability — it's about the lack of structured ways to move beyond surface-level chats and into real, sustained interaction.

The issue isn't just about structure — it's that even with the best intentions, the algorithm and anonymity of Reddit can make it hard to build anything deeper than a passing conversation.

The algorithm's role isn't just about structure — it's about prioritizing engagement over compatibility, which means even the most "right" community can still pair you with people who don't share your goals.

You're right that structure matters, but the best subreddits for meeting people aren't just about structure — they're about the right mix of shared interests and openness that makes meaningful interactions feel possible.
