I would propose that programing humor is more for software developers and IT would be for sysadmin, tech support or tech issues in general.
You won't see printer memes in PH. Some stuff over there goes over my head as someone who's not devops but definitely a career sysadmin.
Its more IT focused.
The original iiiiiiitttttttttttt was a rage comic subreddit, but when those fell out of fasion it became a subreddit for any IT related rage.
Miss rage comics...
Bring back derp and derpina as end users!
I could tell you how I would like it to be, but it's probably not what others think. I find most of programmerhumor not funny.
To me, iiiitttt - and the short description fits it to some degree - should be about ridiculous stuff in IT. Be it ridiculous programs, behaviors, or users.
Programmerhumor seems like it could be something different. Or not. Joke languages, silly experiments and demonstrations like extra bad UI, or jokes (opposed to real occurrences).
🤷♀️
/edit: Also, sidenote, I dislike this community's name - purely because it's not memorable nor easily writable.
The name is a holdover from its reddit origin as a spinoff of the rage comic subreddit fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu, which was condensed to f7u12 (which means the helpful shorthand here is I7T12, which is also not especially memorable, but is better then the alternative.).
Considering the lack of rage comics about IT here, I'd say its strayed far enough from its path that the name isn't applicable anymore.
Communities don't need to be different on the fediverse. Just use the ones you like.
Or both! Both is good.
Yeah but then your feed has duplocates
As if Lemmy was active enough to not check All by default
that and a split community meaning less content in each
Not really, if you want exposure then you have the incentive to crosspost. The real difference is you get to choose who moderates you.
