I'm starting a site that is similar to a wiki. The site will have many different unrelated categories, eg: sports, technology, Spanish, etc. Each category will have many different subcategories.
What do you think is better for users:
Having one large site, www.example.com that has all of the content separated into categories, which would be further separated into subcategories.
orHaving subsites like sports.example.com and tech.example.com and each subsite is dedicated solely to that category. Each subsite would really be it's own site dedicated to the category, and pitch itself as a site where people can go to collaborate on articles about the specific category.
I'm thinking option 2 has the benefit that users interested in a topic will feel like they have a site dedicated to their interest.
What do you guys think is better?
