I agree with you, but I also feel Reddit-like names of subs can be essential for welcoming casual Reddit migrators. If they sense some kind of familiarity with Lemmy they’re more likely to stay
My thoughts exactly. If I'm a redditor trying to look into alternatives, it's much easier to replace foodporn with foodporn than that extra step of having to find out whatever the equivalent community is called.
Plus the people creating communities with identical naming conventions as reddit are likely doing it for the same reason - because they liked the community over there and they want to replicate it over here.
