But on Reddit it’s just as easy to make your own new sub with a different name.
Depends on the subreddit. Many topics have what would be-called natural names that people naturally look for. Suppose you don’t like how r/television is ran. What are you gunna do? Make your own? What you gunna call it? r/tv-shows? Maybe (but that’s also already taken). r/television2? r/bettertelevision?
Also, how are you gunna effectively advertise it? Reddit is way too big for a new small communtiy in most cases, unless it directly sources from another large community.
yes, it’s an uphill problem. but i would argue on lemmy or fediverse in general the slope is not as steep. For example if you’re banned in !games@lemmy.world you can just move on to !games@sh.itjust.works. banned there too? go to !gaming@lemmy.ml. places like piefed included those 3 communities into the same topic so wherever you posted people that goes to piefed gaming topic would still see your post. But then again if you find yourself eventually getting banned no matter where you bounce to, ESPECIALLY in fediverse then you have to look into the most common denominator…

You see the uphill problem here?
