I remember duplicate communities seemed like it would be a problem, until you experience it and realise it's actually a feature of the fediverse.
I was just so used to the centralised mentality. I honestly have a hard time putting myself back in that headspace…
Thank you!
It doesn't take that many people to create an active forum. It takes even fewer to make for an active sub-forum. And it's so easy to pull in content from elsewhere here if you want to discuss it with your little group.
The push towards centralizing Lemmy has always seemed like an artifact of people not actually wanting to leave Reddit, but drawing a line in the sand anyway.
