Should we create a community for programming help?

All things programming and coding related. Subcommunity of Technology.

I agree, currently the fediverse is a wild frontier and we have new communities showing up constantly. However, we also don’t want to overburden users with a plethora of ,basically, duplicate communities. For example to my knowledge there are 2 asklemmy’s and 2 Linux communities that do the same thing, they are just on different instances. For now I think programming at this point should work to cover the basic principals of all programming aspects, if it gets too cluttered, then like mentioned already, we can start separating out the different languages.
And then the people in those duplicate instances cross-post between them 🙃
Most do but not all. Unfortunately there are people that only visit one or the other. I’m not saying it’s an issue, but it will be if we reach a point of having 10 or more of the same communities.
