Reddit has a lot of problems. Cat worship is not one of them.
I think they’re getting at the bot problem. They steal and repost cat pics to any and all cat subs regardless of if it’s relevant to the sub.
At one point the same activity started ruining /r/animalsbeinggeniuses. Either utterly dumb users, or, more likely, botted accounts started spamming the sub with random animal photos/videos. Then, when I dared to point out that a sitting cat/dog isn’t just genius for simply being cute or by being able to jump far, I often got downvoted because bUt It’S sO cUtE, hOw CaN yOu HaTe CuTe AnImAlS.
I stopped following Reddit content more than a year ago, but I’m not too surprised to see that the same is happening everywhere else.

I’m glad I’m not alone there lmao. I subbed to nearly every pet sub there was, and over half of them were dominated by either bots or idiots who didn’t understand what the topic was.
Then actual users would get so offended on behalf of the animal but all I was saying was the content is off-topic.

Weirdos ain’t they?
all these other cats should respect their elders
One of the main things I miss about the place is the ridiculously specific cat subs.
Places like r/torties, r/calicokittys, r/catbellies, r/catsbeingcats, r/roastmycat, r/petthedamncat, r/ooobigstretch and r/blep (last two of which were species agnostic, though) all had The Fabulous Staredycat Sisters in guest star roles from time to time 😄

There’s also several “pets” communities on smaller instances. Feel free to post your cat communities as well, I can’t have gotten them all.
Lemmy needs multi-communities that allow you to subscribe to a curated list; having to subscribe to all of those individually was exhausting
