Hello everyone, I was wondering why did we create another programming community besides the existing ones?

programming

programmerhumor

rust

I'm sorry if this was already answered, I didn't manage to find a relevant post.

Because we can. Because that's how federation works. If you don't like this instance, go to another. Or make meaningful strides to make this one what you would like. Beehaw already defederated from Lemmy.world, so I can't even see it. It's just a preference and if there is no activy at any given instance... Then that's fine. Maybe each find its own community preferences and rules. Maybe you just participate in both like many people are.

If we had a large user base, I would totally see the value, but right now lemmy is still relatively small. Don't you think new content will be too slow? Especially the rust community with around 300 subs for each one.
