I’ve seen this happen a bunch of time now that people just ask a question and it’s deleted a day or so later. Do they delete the question themselves, or is that some automatic thing? If they do it themselves, why?
*edit*
Thanks for the great answers so far. Very insightful. Please keep them coming, I’m curious to more points of view.
Technically the term is “community” here.
Subreddits are to Reddit as Communities are to Lemmy.
I realized that after I posted it, and edited it afterwards, but you’re absolutely right, when I typed it, it already felt wrong :)
