This looks great actually. Thank you!

This looks really, really, great. Thank you!

I did have a look at this, right on their front page it says “focal board is now mattermost boards” or something, this one in particular really does look like part of a larger ecosystem. Even the github repo is being retired as it’s being merged into mattermost server or something.

Weird take.

So adapt to some specific one

I guess I’m asking for recommendations as to which will be the easiest to adapt to.

What about bots to talk to the bots thought?

syntax error, malformed JSON.

This is happening all over reddit.

Mods are posting all over the place saying “I have to bend over for the admins because if I don’t they’ll find someone else who will”.

You do you but honestly I find this a bit weird. As an unpaid volunteer you don’t have to do anything. Just resign. Reddit’s not about to die but it’s best days are in the past. I wouldn’t want to be a part of the future of reddit.

Hard disagree.

Getting over-run by blog spam is entirely foreseeable.

With a single dead mod it’s entirely foreseeable that we would have to relocate at some point which could be devastating when trying to preserve whatevers left of the community.

Looking at the list of instances there doesn’t seem to be any really perfect options.

Honestly I would be most comfortable with an instance administrated by several people. It just increases the odds that admins will know what they’re doing and not lose interest.

This is as good a place as any to ask… where should we set up shop? This community’s sole mod @Zoe8338@lemmy.ml doesn’t seem to be active.

A number of different self-hosting related communities have popped up in the last few days. I’m concerned that without a single focal point we won’t hit a critical mass.

Is this the best place for us though? @Zoe8338@lemmy.ml is the only mod and they don’t seem to be active.

The reluctance of redditors to move to lemmy always amazes me.

Not surprisingly, there’s a lot of posts in a lot of subs about the recently announced changes. In every post the same pattern is repeated ad-nauseum:

• “i hate reddit, it sucks here, I’ve always wanted to leave, I’m never coming back once this happens”
• “maybe we should move the sub to lemmy so we won’t have this problem in future?”
• “but what about all our data, the wiki & post history and such”
• “but there’s no users on lemmy”
• “but that would split the community!”

This is the case even in the subs I would have thought would be really keen to jump ship, like /r/selfhosted

I think this type of approach is the right idea though, a better ecosystem can only be good.
