Hello everyone, I was wondering why did we create another programming community besides the existing ones?

programming

programmerhumor

rust

I'm sorry if this was already answered, I didn't manage to find a relevant post.

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.

This is basically my biggest reason for it as well; A lot easier to explain programming.dev than it is to explain beehaw.org or such

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.

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%!
