      For a “don’t dead, open inside”, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.

      For a “no safety, smoking first”, the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

        The problem is that the ship picture would be perfectly acceptable on dontdeadopeninside tho

          Would it? A true “dontdeadopeninside” reads correctly top to bottom, and incorrectly left to right. The other way around is a “nosafetysmokingfirst”. They are very different formats :)

          I was never on Reddit so I wouldn’t know, but I just don’t think there’s enough content to fill multiple communities. I might very well be wrong though

          I’m just worried that this would lead to 3 dead communities instead of one thriving one. People forget that communities exist, if they don’t regularly see posts in their feed. It might also add a lot of moderating, trying to explain users where to actually post their image.

          But I don’t know, maybe my worries are unwarranted.

          Let’s worry about creating a niche-within-a-niche after we have enough users to keep the content flowing. Like others have said, these kinds of posts are perfectly admissible on the existing community and there is no real reason to split them at this point in time.

          The original DDOI subreddit specified that it was one way in the rules (at least at first, may have changed) , therefore it made sense to have a community for the inverse. If the small community on this small platform doesn’t have such a rule then IMO they aren’t different enough to warrant separate communities.

    While I usually advise to try and make larger communities instead of fragmenting, I think this is a fun subtle difference to split them up with lol

    You could coordinate with the other mods to link to each other
