I’m looking for a good instance to join for work use - specifically something with communities focused on cybersecurity, systems engineering, programming, devops, etc. No NSFW stuff, world news, entertainment.
You must log in or # to comment.
programming.dev is probably what you’re looking for
Yes, join us!
One of us, one of us.
There cybersecurity part would be covered by infosec.pub. Devops and similar communities are more fragmented however.
I’m on the Mastodon instance of that guy, infosec.social. can recommend so far.
Agreed.
https://tchncs.de/ has all sorts of fediverse servers and seems to be very techy / dev oriented.
I’m an IT professional but I find most IT communities to be full insufferable people and full of useless and irrelevant information on obscure systems and practices that don’t apply to the average IT job which is sys admining windows/linux/mac.
Would love a community that was chill and not full of people trying to one up one another about how amazing they are or how hardcore their lab is.
I appreciated the programmerhumor, sysadmin, and talesfromtechsupport subreddits for that vibe. I haven’t found equivalents here yet unfortunately.
You can find programmerhumor at: !programmerhumor@lemmy.ml
I believe programming.dev is the main instance for all programming related communities that left reddit.
I appreciated […] sysadmin
Do we already have r/brandnewsentence over here?
Then you might like the homelab/self-host communities.
How about infosec.pub?
I was gonna say this. I think this is the most popular one.
programming.dev
I feel like many IT pros are the ones hosting instances themselves, whether popular or personal. I host two, both of which are open, but I’m not exactly advertising or doing any branding really.
What are you running them on?
My personal home Kubernetes cluster plus the cloudflare free tier. For now. Definitely want to keep them on my cluster as I’ve got everything just right including automatic backups etc, plus it’s paid for, but I guess we’ll see how cloudflare works out.
infosec.pub maybe
https://lemmyverse.net/ is a great resource to find instances and communities
I’m on the fence about this kind of question - it’s not open so it breaks rule #1. However, I got pushback last time I removed something similar. What’s your preference on this kind of post?
I prefer not to see them because people can use the search tools to find communities and instances.
I think they should be removed. I thought asklemmy was the equivalent to askreddit. I think this would be more fit to !general@lemmy.world or !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
I wouldn’t call it an exact equivalent - we can make it what we want. I also didn’t frequent askreddit so don’t have a clear example.
I’d say go ahead and make “not for questions about lemmy” a hard and fast rule, and link to some subs that might be better for that (https://lemmy.ml/c/findacommunity, https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support). These aren’t open-ended questions. I’d rather this be for questions that will prompt interesting responses based on people’s opinions and experiences.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !findacommunity@lemmy.ml, !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml
It doesn’t really seem to fit the spirit of the community. However it’s still so small I don’t really mind. That said these choices impact the future culture
