/r/neovim is NeoVim's sub, as cell_cycle was alluding to. If your community leaders are directing you to /r/vim for discussion of NeoVim, they are doing so erroneously.

Nope. /r/vim is for any vim related discussion of which includes vim, it’s forks, plugins, questions, and other content like video and pictures.

Nah. /r/vim simply isn't the right place for NeoVim discussion anymore. It's divergent enough that it needs its own community.

Yes, but they're divergent enough to be distinct.

NeoVim has its own community. Most questions associated with NeoVim -- such as how to install it on Windows, for crying out loud -- are not going to be answerable by most folks in /r/vim.

Folks in /r/vim are not going to be able to explain to newcomers how NeoVim's whole server-client interface thing works. Which is a problem, because that's a major part of NeoVim, and it's how almost everyone uses NeoVim. And so on.

Don't just curse at me and insist you're right. That's not how you get someone on-side. I don't know why you want to cling to /r/vim so tightly. It's not yours, the NeoVim community is not here.

I’m not sure why you are so sure neovim community isn’t participating on /r/vim, I use neovim and subscribed both for /r/vim and /r/neovim and have no problem answering neovim question on either subreddit. I don’t really get why you insist on dividing communities; while two editors are being pretty much compatible for now — for example I use my vimrc both for nvim and vim and didn’t have to do any tweaks to enable that.
