I don’t get it. Without any sort of posting guidelines, how is this any different than asklemmy? Both communities come from subreddits but over there, Askreddit was for general/public opinion questions and nostupidquestions was for questions you feel stupid for not knowing the answer to. Over here, both posts are acceptable. And this one seems to get way more vague “what do you think about X?” posts.
So what’s the point? Why have two separate communities on the same instance for the same thing? Most posts here are, frankly, stupid questions. The post that inspired this question was the one about Harambe. Come on lol
Left over from the reddit migration where people created mirror communities, and ofen on mulitple instance e.g. [email protected] and [email protected] which are both pretty active.
Unlike an asklemmy, I would expect question with a more clear cut answer. e.g. Asking why the sky is blue, or why is pink seen as feminine belong here, while asking about what do you do if you swap body with the last person you had sex with, or about other people first tattoo experience fits on the asklemmy communities
That’s what I’d expect, too, but that’s not what we’ve been getting unfortunately
The best part of the fediverse is that a community like asklemmy is not limited to instances like ml if it was created there first.
Duplicate communites is a feature.
