Why specifically a Lego branded community? (lemmy.world)

With more and more alternatives appearing to Lego which also increase in variety and even surpass at times Lego quality, why focus just on this company for a brick building community? I for example have been badly burned by Lego's handling of the Mindstorms brand and there are more compatibility broken product lines from Lego.

Is posting other brands alright here? Will it lead to unpleasant conflicts from Lego, if their brand name is used?

That's a good decision I think. Calling it lego because it's the most famous brand, but allowing anything that's compatible.

Not sure if this is going to be an issue in future, but there are also building blocks that use a non compatible system like nanoblocks. At some point you might have to decide if those are acceptable too!
