This is as good a place as any to ask... where should we set up shop? This community's sole mod @[email protected] 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.
I concur and am actively researching this issue as well. I, for example created my own instance but am not entirely sure I should be the one to host yet another Selfhosted community. I am hoping for a dominate 2/3 of them to win out, preferably lemmy.ml as it was the first I discovered. Alas, you asked a very pertinent question that I think you should keep searching to find. I did see the owner on Lemmy.world actually responding to his thread...
We should absolutely instill the desire to keep this community alive though.
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.
I wonder if we could petition Lemmy.ml to make the adjustment? I'm not positive how the mod roles function just yet.
You can post a request at https://lemmy.ml/c/community_requests
While I’m immediately tempted to request to be made a mod, I’m going to wait a day or so and see how frequently other new members start posting.
This is my day one, so not ideal for me to make any assertions or claims. I do enjoy the spirit that we have though so far.
[email protected] Might be worth asking on the support page if that would be possible. This community has the most subscribers by a decent amount so I'd think it would be good to try to stay set up on here.

you can checkout lemmy.fmhy.ml (I am one of the admins but its pretty big)
Yeah but "free media heck yeah" might not be the right vibe.
It started with that subreddit but it's now more of a general instance, but fair.
There are now 3 admins! 😄
Sorry, where?
