I would rather avoid lemmy.ml’s pro-China, pro-Russia stance that they enforce with bans, personally. Better off having multiple communities across multiple instances than locking the community into a singular trash instance, otherwise you’re just creating the same problem reddit had.
Understandable, I have not read much about the problems of Lemmy.ml so thanks for pointing that out. Do you have any sources? Would like to read more about that
I did some digging and found this post with a lot of details: https://lemmy.ml/post/1167199
Honestly seems pretty damning. Especially the comments section. They got tankie admins.
Okay based on you guys and your feedback I will let this community continue! It seems like a good thing. It was of course not my intention to “steal” any community members or anything like that. Just to create something I missed here and have not found.
I don’t see any problem in existing both communities and everyone can feel free to use whichever they want.
But nonetheless thanks for pointing out that another one exists!
Thats my mistake then! I was sure I checked if it exists, before I created this one.
Yea, please keep it alive :)
You’re fine, it’s OP that seems to misunderstand how things work.
The community they talk about is on another instance (lemmy.ml), the beauty of federation is that any instance can have any community and user, and people can choose which one they subscribe to (or sub to both).
You can create the same community on multiple istances, it’s actually a good thing
Seems like it should stay then
