Where are the raisins??? Σ(°ロ°)

No, there were and are huge forums which catered to pretty much everything. From chatting to dating, gardening, gaming, technology, motor trucks, all in one forum.

Reddit actually just tried to replicate these forums but with a less centralised approach, ironically, by allowing everyone and not just the forum admins to make a new category on the forum.

I think the problem is more that some people still struggle to understand how to find and subscribe to communities and magazines not on their instance.

You can easily subscribe to all the technology communities here as well, it’s just two clicks sometimes instead of one.

On Reddit you also have multiple subreddits on technology. Especially when Reddit was just starting out several people started technology subreddits. It is just that you only visited the one most popular with the most users and most content. Which built up over quite some time. I think it is weird to expect Lemmy instances to be exactly like Reddit is now, when you consider Reddit is 17(!) years old.

While there will be a few instances which are very niche because they get defederated from anyone else and they may have a technology community as well, for the bigger, federated instances there will be the one big technology community again.

Currently people all over the fediverse start new communities without checking if they already exist. This won’t go on indefinitely…

Isn’t cops another word police in the US? In the article they write it was the probation office who mandated the app and then a court prosecuted him because of it.

If you finish Dome Keeper and liked the concept, give Wall World a try next. I liked it even better!

While it has simple graphics, Rimworld is not a pixel game. It is a great game, though!
