    The difference there is size. Once lemmy is big enough that splitting communities off without it simply killing one or the other is possible, this will be the correct course of action.

    In this case, the community you are complaining in doesn’t have enough activity for complaints like the ones on reddit, to make sense.

    On Reddit, a couple people trying to push the style of content in a new direction in order to salvage a community by posting themselves, would drown in the sea of content.

    On Lemmy, you can become the main contributor of a community overnight.

    On Reddit, you can remove 90% of content in a sub and still have the remaining 10% be more content than any one person can consume.

    On Lemmy, that’d simply kill most communities.
