Not really. There is just one community where all the dedicated users are and its this one.

Sorry but I seem to be out of the loop.

Did something happen? Did the mods do something bad or anything else? Or whats the reason behind all these new versions of 196?

They decided to move the community to lemmy.world because they disagree with Ada about moderation decisions and they want everyone to know it's definitely not about neopronouns

195, the OG subreddit, was a number of a flat or uni dorm of the founder of it, and as it got closed 196 became the sequel

As an outsider, I’ve been wondering the exact same thing.

1 + 9 = 10 = J
10 + 6 = 16 = P

It's a reference to television chef Jean-Pierre Bréhier, who has over 2 million subscribers on youtube.

JP opened his first restaurant in the US in 1976. "Coincidentally" called the Left bank.
