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.

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%!
