So what’s the point of this if there’s no nuance? That’s still my question. Why did people make these communities with subreddit names if they weren’t going to be similar places? It feels so…hollow.
Lemmy is not reddit. It has its own history and culture. It’s totally fine if you don’t like it, but if you’re expecting it to be like reddit then you’ll just be disappointed and frustrated every time.
The history around “why does this community have the same name as a reddit sub” is obvious. At some point it was expected to be the next incarnation of whatever sub, but that’s just not how things turned out for a number of reasons
I think the question is pretty straightforward…new subreddits were born out of a need for a niche. If there’s no need for the niche (as we both agree), why was this community made? The truth is that a lot of Lemmy communities are poorly cosplaying subreddits without having ever seen the movie. It looks like a duck but sure doesn’t walk like one

I’m not really sure what you’re getting at.
