The one I encountered on Reddit (way back when) was more focused on occasions where slightly wonky translations led to funny results, rather than just making fun of bad translations, or the people who wrote them.
E.g.
It’s like the posts showing unnecessary quotation marks on signs - it’s not about making fun of the people who wrote the sign, it’s funny because it now conveys something else.
E.g., a sign outside a farm offering Fresh brown “eggs” for sale.

Maybe a community for that under a different name would be appropriate?
