          BPT was first.

          I agree with everything you said. The majority of communities on Lemmy are just reddit clones without any “heart” to them. Same names, completely different rules on what can be posted. They’re husks of subreddits filled with the most generic shit

            The majority of communities on Lemmy are just reddit clones without any “heart” to them.

            This would imply that reddit still has heart, which it doesn’t.

            Lemmy is still finding itself. For the majority here, leaving reddit was the whole thing that brought them here. It’s going to take time to form its own identity that’s less of a shadow of reddit and more of a demonstration of the new communities.

              What I’m saying is that Lemmy communities feel like they took the empty shell of a Porsche and shoved whatever engine they could find in it but still call it a Porsche.

              Reddit may be soulless but the original subs weren’t. The names got copied over without any thought and they’re run like the wild west

      The original sub was made because r/blackpeopletwitter only allowed tweets from black people. There is no reason for it to exist here especially with the waning popularity of Twitter…but lemmy full of useless copycat communities.
