Hello everyone, I was wondering why did we create another programming community besides the existing ones?
I’m sorry if this was already answered, I didn’t manage to find a relevant post.

Isn’t creating a community from scratch already massively discouraging? Who will engage in a small community with barely any content if there’s already a bigger one out there? One reason I could think of is there’s some reason why the bigger community is not worth being part of any longer, such as bad moderation. In this case, creating a new one seems like the solution.
Honestly, the same kind of thing could be said about Reddit vs Lemmy and the like - Why use a Lemmy instance at all, when something bigger and more popular like Reddit has the (large) communities you want to be a part of?
