  This is an either-or question, not really broad enough for Ask Lemmy.

    Based on the other posts, I think it would fit right in over there. It only “fits” here because this community has no theme. It copied its name from the subreddit but didn’t try to mimic what made it unique.

    For reference, the subreddit was for “common sense” questions people might feel stupid asking. An example of a great post there was “how often do I have to wash a hoodie” or “do I really have to change my oil every 3000 miles?”

      You’re absolutely correct, but I don’t think really anything can be done about this community nor others with similar problems.

      There just aren’t enough users who actually care about this type of nuance.

      There’s no point trying to uphold an ideal that just isn’t relevant to most users.

        So what’s the point of this if there’s no nuance? That’s still my question. Why did people make these communities with subreddit names if they weren’t going to be similar places? It feels so…hollow.

      Guess it depends which ask lemmy you mean. May fit on .ml’s rather than .world’s.
