Hello everyone, I was wondering why did we create another programming community besides the existing ones?
I’m sorry if this was already answered, I didn’t manage to find a relevant post.
Welcome to the main community in programming.dev! Feel free to post anything relating to programming here!
Cross posting is strongly encouraged in the instance. If you feel your post or another person’s post makes sense in another community cross post into it.
Hope you enjoy the instance!
Follow the wormhole through a path of communities !webdev@programming.dev
I won’t parrot the reasons, I think other comments captured that.
However, I would MUCH rather share links in professional circles to something called
programming.dev
that is specifically an instance about programming rather than “choose your random generic instance” that has porn, memes, shit posts, etc. and oh look, a programming community too.To be fair, that is basically the same with reddit.
Absolutely, which is why I never linked to Reddit. So I’m already loving and prefferring lemmy over Reddit 100%!
This is basically my biggest reason for it as well; A lot easier to explain
programming.dev
than it is to explainbeehaw.org
or such@Hexarei @RandomDevOpsDude
A lot of the time I don’t even know where a post is coming from. They show up on my mastodon feed, I reply. I’ve clicked source links before and gone to completely new lemmy instances I never knew about.
