What's wrong is fracturing. Lemmy is not so massive that it can sustain niche communities for every little topic.

I wouldn't consider US politics a small topic, especially on Lemmy

It's not a small topic, it's a small community to set up all these tiny communities.

Community is what we called subs on the other site.

How are political communities tiny when they are 2 of the 6 most active communities on Lemmy?

To be honest, the issue is mostly about [email protected] banning self posts (and thus people having to find alternatives such as [email protected] ) rather than the mods of [email protected]

Seriously? Political questions, political related questions, and international political related questions.

The one you listed is for essentially for posting articles.

The one you listed is for essentially for posting articles.

Why the distinction? Movies communities both post about articles about movies and have discussion posts too.

But anyway, I created those 3 posts on [email protected], feel free to create others there too
