Comment on On Lemmy is it safe to create a community on a smaller scale when there are other communities already available of the same topic?

I think it is absolutely fine. Most of the time the communities are on a .ml instance, or modded by the worst people imaginable.

Make many communities and let the inferior ones die. This is good for Lemmy. Just don’t copy the same posts to your community, as it’ll fill the front page with duplicates, which is detrimental to Lemmy.

I noticed a few duplicates in Lemmy search from time to time. Would definitely avoid doing that.

  But check them first. There’s many dead communities on ml and way more on world. Make a new one for sure in those cases.
