I’ve just created !nosafetysmokingfirst@sh.itjust.works. It is similar to !dontdeadopeninside@lemmy.ohaa.xyz but the other way around.
Text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

It’s not similar… it literally is dontdeadopeninside??
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 :)
No, they aren’t. The rule on the community is not that specific:
Images of text-designs, that are barely readable due to the placement of the words or letters
Also, the stats on that community:
- 926 subscribers
- 7 posts in the last 3 months
Remind me again why we’re creating a competing community to suck the life out of one that barely gets any posts?
That sub wasn’t about technicalities but about signs with an easily confused word order. Yours absolutely qualifies.
Who cares what the order is. This is not needed.
Yeah, idk, seems to me this way too
Are you unclear on the difference between the two formats, or do you think the differences are insufficient to warrant separate communities?
The original r/dontdeadopeninside had clearly defined distinctions between formats. I thought it would be nice to have both on Lemmy :)
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.
It’s hilarious to me, that “safety first” is written second
I don’t see any crew in the shot. Guess everyone was smoking.
Nah everyone is dead inside; don’t open
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
Tagging @FQQD@lemmy.ohaa.xyz and @vox@sopuli.xyz for their thoughts. Can we mutually link to each other’s communities in the sidebar?
sure :3
It’s worth noting that !yelldowlgyel@sopuli.xyz is also similar and around.
Thanks! Added it to the sidebar.
Instant sub, cheers.
I think I understand the intention but this seems easy to read?
So is don’t dead, open inside, but it still became a thing.
Yay, I missed this one.
