    Yeah, at this point feel like it’d be more helpful for some communities to exist bu restrict posts and redirect people to instances that have an established community so serving as a guide on where to go.

    Much like how back on reddit there’d be subs that only served that purpose of redirecting users to the main community despite having millions of active users.

      Because people can have their own community, just like on reddit? The only reason on reddit that you saw those redirects was because people got that community name and did it themselves. In a small amount of cases, it might have been for the standard communities that reddit set up in the beginning too, but that should be very few like that.

      We don’t want a clone of reddit which was very restricted. We know LW is well funded, the other one is not.

        Lemmy World also has a lot of downtime. It seems an odd decision to host your community there, but good luck.

        Not wanting to copy every aspect of Reddit is fine, and kind of the point of Lemmy even. But pretending like everything that happens in Reddit sucks just because it’s on Reddit reeks of sour grapes.

          Paramount controlling what is said on forums doesn’t sit well with everyone. What they did on reddit will not occur here.
