      I noticed it posting like r/buildapc stuff; folks asking questions about how motherboards work and such.

      Like, I could see mirroring r/news or something where people are posting news articles. But technical questions? If anyone on Lemmy answers the question, the original author won’t read it.

      I never actually used r/ideacancer for anything but I think I might just open a community for it.
