Abstract
UX practitioners increasingly rely on online communities to collaborate on and discuss complex design problems. Understanding how these platforms flourish is thus of interest to both HCI academia and the broader UX discipline. In this study, we comparatively investigate the longevity of two such groups: the r/userexperience community on Reddit and the UX subforum on Stack Exchange. By quantifying how users post online on aggregate and what users discuss in their individual posts, we find that Reddit has grown consistently as a digital forum for UX practice. In contrast, Stack Exchange has contracted despite being more responsive and being as capable of addressing mainstream UX concepts as Reddit. Discussions of niche, higher-level UX concepts on Stack Exchange also declined disproportionately, leading to less conceptual diversity. Our results therefore contribute an initial comparative understanding of community longevity between online UX platforms.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
