Sure, but sometimes you want to see specific content, not see a bunch of content and sometimes see that thing you wanted to see an hour ago. By your logic, we could just get rid of communities and have nothing but an ‘all’ area.
Exactly! I have so many filters in place, some times it’s nice to have a targeted community to feed the exact trash I want to ingest without a glut of meta-memes or low effort Musk spam (as examples).
No my logic is that the subreddit arose because of an overwhelming amount of that specific type of content going into various subs.
There isn’t an overwhelming amount of this kind - or really any hyper-specific content on lemmy. More communities just makes shit harder to find and discourages engagement because most people aren’t going to contribute to a community that is entirely seeded by bots or that hasn’t had an actual post in a month.
Do you have enough content to keep that community active for months? Or are you just gonna repost shit from Reddit with a bot and have a ton of threads with 0 comments? And do you really think either of those are useful for the larger lemmy community?
Is there an equivalent to r/mallninja on Lemmy yet?
It’s posted here. You saw the content without needing to make another clone of a super-specific Reddit sub.
You do know that multiple kinds of content can exist in the same community right? This isn’t a sorting/content organization competition.

That’s literally how I browse Lemmy. And how I always browsed reddit when I was there.
It’s so much more interesting when you don’t know what you’re about to get.
