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 disagree, subs are not born out of a need for a niche, they’re created when someone wants to be a fief lord. Of every thousand or so created, only a few gather any following, and the community reflects the desires of it’s users.
As I said it’s fine to dislike a community, but insisting that it be run according to your view of how things ought to be run is nonsensical.
I’m not really sure what you’re getting at.

We’re also so small. There’s less need for such tight rules.
If you feel this doesn’t fit the spirit you could make your own?
