Reddit never banned me, and yet here I am.

Maybe there’s something missing in your analysis?

It sounds more like you want to create a new community on an existing instance.

Setting up a new community can be as easy as clicking the new community button and filling in the fields.

Setting up a whole instance of Lemmy (like lemmy.world, which you’re on, or aussie.zone, which I’m on) is way more involved than you’re probably thinking - buying a domain name, figuring out hosting, installing the Lemmy software, and a whole lot more.

Uhhhh…

What?

What is this and how is it relevant to the community you’re posting in?

No. Duolingo is a for-profit company.

And even if they were a non-profit org, cutting jobs isn’t a good thing. It’s sometimes an unfortunate necessity.
