I setup (took over and spruced up, to be precise) this community specifically because of the time I’ve spent over the years browsing and relying on reddit.com/r/sysadmin for sources of information on tips/tricks, security exploits & patches, outages, and yes even the ranting about how our jobs all suck. (I like mine, for what it’s worth.)
Come on down, ask questions, post what the sysadmin community needs to know about, or head in to get either sympathy or chastisement about why you haven’t left your job yet. 🤣
Want to be a mod? Let me know!
Less Windows content than reddit please.
Omg yes for some time now it seems like r/sysadmin has been a shit ton of windows admins complaining about windows server or windows admins shilling windows server. Its gotten quite cringey.
Microsoft really ruins everything
a lot of them aren’t even Microsoft sysadmins (eg talking about MS Exchange, Domain Controllers, etc) but are actually just IT helpdesk posting about dumb user tickets.
Let’s have less of that here, please.
For that we would need more non-Windows admins than Windows admins.
Good luck.
I’d like to see whatever everyone wants to post about, and would also encourage you to be the change you want to see. I’m more into the Microsoft space myself but manage a handful of Linux servers (which I typically never have to bother with unless I’m standing another one up, and our team manages patching), though I’m not sure where good sources of news & updates would be for Linux information.

If you have interesting read-worthy news articles, I’d encourage you to post them. I’ve been pursuing some Linux news sites but don’t know what’s of interest to everyone. Also, Lemmy is a community and I don’t intend to be a one-man show. 😁
That is up to you, the community is still small so you can make a big difference.
Personally I will not post any Windows content because I do not have any Windows knowledge, but I suppose some people find it interesting.
