There’s no good reason. There never is, other than the reddit mods wanting control and not wanting to share with those who already built community on Lemmy.
I think having multiple communities about the same subject on different instances can be interesting and potentially good!
I just think in this case there wasn’t really a need to make a new community, when the main difference is a mod team from a different website. The tone of the post struck me as telling the community what to do. I was a little assumptive, I suppose.
I used to mod a subreddit/discord that has already had a couple lemmy communities pop up, so this is something I’ve been talking about with friends for a bit. I’m personally hoping to see moderators of reddit communities making space for new people to run things.
Considering this user made an account on lemmy.ml to post this, and the community in world was made by the same user with a world account, maybe they don’t understand the federation aspect correctly. It seems to happen a lot, and it’s frustrating because it leads to one huge instance in lemmy.world.

My familie’s smart TV has a thing called “Web App Tester”, which let’s you navigate the web interface as if it was an actual application, which works really well
Next, we need to get behind the joy of not being sold. I feel like in this day and age, so much money is behind just selling our data, yet we get very little in return.
