Feeling discouraged by apps that closely copy existing work

Hi Devvit team,

I tried reaching out via Mod Mail but haven't received a response, so I wanted to ask here.

Lately, I've noticed a few apps/games appearing that seem very close to existing ones already on the platform, including one of mine. I understand that ideas can overlap and that competition is healthy, but in some cases, the similarities go well beyond the core idea and extend into the overall implementation and experience.

I also came across an older post from another developer raising a similar concern, but I couldn't find any follow-up from the team. It's quite demoralizing to spend significant time building something and then see near-identical versions appear shortly afterward.

I see that there are policies around such conduct, but not sure how they apply in situations. Would greatly appreciate your guidance and support.

Thank you.
