A common pattern of subreddit nomenclature on Reddit is the anarchy of naming subtopics (like Game memes, political memes).
e.g There are multiple subreddits for TF2: r/tf2 and r/truetf2; however this is confusing. These
Examples:
(I wouldn’t use backslashes; since they are used in URLs.)
(I don’t see much reason to agree with this suggestion; but some other people might be able to agree with it.)
Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to !meta@lemmy.ml.
actually / would be ok for urls, backslash would work as well, but it would require quoting in the url with %5c. Any other character could work as well like . or -
reminds me of the naming convention of usenet, rec.arts.tv.starttrek.tos
Usenet used that naming convention? I am now liking Usenet (not newsnet lmao).
that sounds like a forum to me, with topics and subtopics hierarchy. discourse is like that isn’t it?
