I’m sure there are some good reasons, but I don’t know what those reasons are.
I’ve noticed that sometimes the instance of the community doesn’t match the instance of the user who posted there, and I was wondering why they chose to post to that community instead of an equivalent one on the instance they joined. Are there pros and cons to doing this?
I’m not trying to make any argument either way, I’m just curious why people made the choices they did. For example, I saw someone from
lemmy.world
posted onprogrammer_humor@programming.dev
even thoughprogrammerhumor@lemmy.world
also exists. I’m wondering how they chose the first option over the second.Usually, activity: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=programmer
