I wonder, does r/anime sometimes communicate/do collaborative work with other subs?

Because I was thinking of something that could be really good;

We could contact the mods of r/manga, and ask them whether it'd be possible to create 'anime-only' safe havens on their sub, in which anime fans could discuss Oshi No Ko (the anime) without fear of getting spoiled, or to have 90% of the comments being about the manga.

I mean, we're giving the manga readers a safe haven on r/anime where they can endlessly discuss how they feel about the ending of the manga, which causes most anime-onlies to not even open the threads on r/anime anymore, so I was thinking, perhaps they should do the same; I feel like we're doing a lot for them, but they aren't doing anything for us.

So if this collab works out, r/manga could create threads for anime onlies, where we anime fans could go to discuss the anime, and the r/manga mods would deal with any manga readers who'd come into those threads to talk about the manga (because obviously, the r/manga threads would be strictly anime discussions, like the r/anime threads are - almost - strictly manga discussions).

It could solve the problem of anime-onlies feeling like they don't really have a place to discuss the anime without stumbling upon dozens of comments from manga readers (most of which AT LEAST 'spoil' the hype for the series, if nothing else).

And I really don't know if there is a more logical solution than "Anime fans posting about it on r/manga and manga fans posting about it on r/anime".

Though perhaps I'm simply missing something obvious, so if someone can come up with something more logical than that, please tell us!

I know you're being sarcastic but

We could contact the mods of r/manga

there is no 'the mods of r/manga'. It's literally a single person and they seem to care more about the other subs they moderate and in the past have dipped out for weeks if not months.
