So I have been a part of this community for a while and it seems pretty quiet. I know Lemmy is not as big as Reddit so this community will always be much smaller but I kind of miss the activity on r/sysadmin. Infinity for Reddit still works for view only so I have been scrolling though posts on Reddit as some of the stories and discussion there are fun to read.

With that being said, I think we can work to grow this community a bit. From what I can tell this community is home to a lot of quick posting. I am responsible somewhat as I have posted a bunch of articles. However, I am going to make a point to do longer write ups and I think it would be good we posted some stories. Additionally, I would be more than happy to help setup automatic posting for patch Tuesdays and similar scheduled posts.

As far as growth goes, I think we need to get the word out. A lot of people just do not know that Lemmy is a thing. If we can create some more meaningful posts and get some people to come over here from other platforms then I think this community will grow. I also know that mastodon is a pretty big platform so if we can get some people to engage from mastodon it will help as well.

Good. I can't stand the insane communities on Reddit. It's full of clickbait and grifters. There's small communities are what the Internet is about. We should be happy.

I agree that most of Reddit is like that. However, r/sysadmin is pretty good in my experience.

Except for the #reddit-sysadmin IRC channel. Gibby's always shilling his "fart in a jar" NFT.
