I hate how often Discord is mentioned as a viable alternative, how that is even remotely close to a link-aggregator fora is beyond me.
And equally important: another proprietary service that has a single point of failure which is large enough that governments will know about it and target it if they want to silence dissent. Federation or completely standalone is the only way to go imo.
It is kinda like r/selfhosted that stays on reddit even though it is turning to shit when the communities are about being able to manage a server and a shit ton of atorage
At the last exodus, some created https://selfhosted.forum/, but it’s pretty dead. You are right. It is tragically comical.
!selfhosted@lemmy.world is the most active community
There’s dozens of us!
Dozens, I say!
The IT related self-reliance communities on reddit should make their own instance. Data hoarder, self hosted, privacy, piracy, etc. The only unfortunate thing is the entire internet is run on advertising so it’s challenging to fund instances. Normalize paying for services you use.
Thats what happened on dbzer0 iirc. Former reddit mod went lemmy admin. Correct me if I got that wrong.
But in any case, it is what I did as well. ;)
Why does that door say pirate? Do you think a pirate lives there?
Some are luckily mentioning Lemmy, but so many is talking about Discord haha
Huh… Blocked. Reddit’s getting snitty. They’re feeling threatened.
It’s been like that for a while
I wonder if linking to rxddit.com would fix it. Does that site even work still?
It’s unfortunate that the active c/datahoarder is on lemmy.ml, because it always derails the conversation into the tankie question. But it’s honestly on brand for there to be multiple c/datahoarder communities on Lemmy. You know, for backup and redundancy purposes 😏
Shout out to @cm0002@lemmy.world for getting some activity going on !datahoarder@lemmy.world.
If we were to start fresh, I feel like !datahoarder@lemmy.dbzero.com would be the most appropriate.

@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com Thoughts on hosting a datahoarder community on your instance?
The moderator of !datahoarder@lemmy.ml (@archivist@lemmy.ml) hasn’t been active in two years. Would the admins be open to appointing a new moderator or redirecting to a community on another instance? Tagging admin @nutomic@lemmy.ml.
The moderator of !datahoarder@lemmy.world (@danielintempesta@lemmy.world) is active. Thoughts on moving the community to dbzer0?
Tagging recent posters in the above communities for their thoughts: @cm0002@lemmy.world, @Sandbag@lemm.ee, @pansapiens@lemmy.sdf.org, @ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com, @akilou@sh.itjust.works, @cantankerous_cashew@lemmy.world, @fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com.
Thoughts on moving the community to dbzero? I think moving away from .ml might be a better experience for new users, and moving away from .world (largest instance, still on 19.3) would strengthen the fediverse as a whole.
Well done
