Why remove a feature that helps onboard new users from Reddit?
Think about it. How long will Lemmy be a new backup or alternative to Reddit? It must grow organically at some point to become its own thing. And it has started to. We don’t have an onboard utility for FB, X, TikTok, etc. Authenticity does not evolve from duplicity.
We are quite similar to Reddit compared to any other social media platform. This is why the feature is a part of the app. Lemmy needs all the help it can get to drive user registration AND foster engagement. Finding similar communities from subs helps that. It is useful, so it should not be removed.
