Mostly just curious, How come people can’t create their own communities here? What was the reasoning behind this? I’d love it if people could create their own communities and appeal to tiny niches. (i know I can find most of them via federation but some I can’t)

      On reddit somehow a million empty subs don’t matter, but here they’re kinda annoying and all dead.

      i’d say this mostly has to do with the fact that 1) reddit can paper over all of those very tiny subs with its huge, active ones that you’re likely to run into first; and 2) any sub on a topic people want to talk about will eventually find a community on reddit due to its size (but you can’t say that about here yet, where even general communities might struggle to find more than a few users)
