As usual with the fediverse, choice is key.
There were quite a few complaints on !fediverse@lemmy.world about !linux@lemmy.ml not having any real alternative (https://reddthat.com/post/20166234), so let’s see if we can revive the programming.dev one.
And if it fails, at least we tried.
Isn’t there more active !linux@lemmy.world already?
I had a quick look, no post for 2 days, the two post of todays are reposts from someone who posted them to !linux@programming.dev too. The mod hasn’t been active for a month.
And having a community off LW for a change is nice, this is like hitting two birds with one stone.
I was looking at weekly and monthly stats, as well as the amount of subscribers. Though I agree that the most recent data shows that !linux@programming.dev is probably more active. And this community fits programming.dev more. I’ll subscribe to both and see where it goes :s
I dont get these alternatives. Lemmy needs a feature to mirror communities to other servers. Having 2 is annoying
We still have !asklemmy@lemmy.world and !asklemmy@lemmy.ml side by side.
I guess in this case the question is if you are okay with lemmy.ml moderation practices: https://slrpnk.net/post/10244872
Crazy read, yes Lemmy.ml is problematic.
But some kind of post mirroring is still needed to make this really work.
Hopefully people will agree with you and post to !linux@programming.dev rather than !linux@lemmy.ml
And people will probably keep an eye on both and repost from the old one to the new one
Should I make a new account for / on programming.dev then?
No, this is accessible via https://lemmy.ml/c/linux@programming.dev for you!
Just leave Lemmy.ml.
but I already left reddit
I feel for you. People said “just join any instance” and now people like you have everything set up on the CCP’s Fediverse propaganda hub.
