Hi, I love the fact that r/unixporn is joining Lemmy! :D But I am still puzzled about why not join the already existing community, why start from scratch again when there is already a foundation to build on top of? Maybe I am missing something important, please educate me :)
As Stardust-kyun stated, we’re somewhat sceptical of the stability and the administration of the lemmy.ml instance, and moving here seemed like a good choice. I also personally doubt that we’ll have much difficulty growing this community to a similar size as the existing lemmy.ml one, as this one will be advertised on reddit. We’d rather go here where we have more confidence in the instance being a good choice now, before telling the subreddit that a lemmy exists now

Cool, but be careful when advertising about a Lemmy community on Reddit. I got banned for just talking about Lemmy in the comment section. :P
