Calling all /r/sysadmin reddit refugees! (lemmy.ml)

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. 🤣

https://programming.dev/ looks like a good instance to migrate to. It's tech-focused, small and not overwhelmed by signups, and the administrator has experience running a developer subreddit. Best to migrate early before too many users arrive here and something bad happens to lemmy.ml.

I mean, that is the upside and design intent of Lemmy. Be the change you want to see and stand up an IT focused Lemmy server. I don't have the time or resources for that, but I can help by contributing to and moderating this community on what is currently the largest Lemmy server. Something tells me there will be a number of iterations before the Lemmy-verse settles on which servers become predominate.

I think this shouldn't be that huge of a deal right now. We all have to start somewhere and I think that in the future there will be a way for us to migrate the community if we decide it is time to do so (maybe there is already, I am not really familiar with lemmy yet). I would support setting up an instance if we should decide to
