Absolutely not. Looking at the content there, it’s quite literally general content.
Much of it isn’t what I’d consider casual conversation material so this sub still fulfills a distinct purpose. It’s more personal here imo.
While there may be overlap now, I think if that sub lemmy grows a lot in the future it will become much less focused.
Totally agree with this and I also think Casual Conversation is just a better, more inviting name for the purposes of the community.
If I wanted to start a conversation I wouldn't be inclined to post in a sub called "General", despite the name being technically all-inclusive. Calling it Casual Conversation gives any hesitant poster reassurance that other subscribers of the sub really just want to hear casual small talk.
It makes sense
Interesting, thanks for your feedback!
