What could be the consensus for an "open source" or "free software" community that is not lemmy.ml nor lemmy.world? (sopuli.xyz)

Oh I didn't realize it was unmoderated. I would prefer this one ~~if we could~~ but it would be nice to find people to moderate it.

Admin moderation would likely be ok for this community since I don't expect a high workload, but it's not ideal

Finding moderators might be the biggest challenge

@otter@lemmy.ca @Blaze@sopuli.xyz

Please know that even while our communities are moderated by @Vacant@programming.dev us admins are still making sure the content is within our TOS and community guidelines🤗

although it would be nice to find volunteer moderators as it would help distribute both power and responsibilities🌻🍀

It wasn't that difficult for the Linux community a while back, was it? I am once again adding my name to the volunteer list, though, just in case.

Regarding the version, I think I remember some p.dev discussion on the possibility of migrating to Sublinks. Wonder if that's related.

Edit: I don't think it is. Seems they simply want to wait a week or two before updating.

Interesting, but the issue is beehaw is that they defederated both lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, so around 20k monthly active users out of the 50k of Lemmy: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/

Well there's also their adventure of deciding whether they want to stay on the fediverse or do their own thing. I haven't seen anything on that from them recently, but last I saw (early this year) was that they were certainly thinking about leaving.

Moving to Sublinks which is designed to have full feature parity with Lemmy

[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 months ago

But even with Sublinks, would Beehaw refederate with LW and SJW at some point? That's the core of the issue

[-] Cube6392@beehaw.org 3 points 4 months ago

I think that hinges on how Sublinks moderation tools develop. That said the Beehaw admins are really burned out from how hard to moderate a federated forum has been on Lemmy so I'd think there might be hesitation before re-enabling federation with those two, especially since they're wanting to move to whitelist federation and SJW specifically (at least back when I was paying attention to it) moved to an admin format that tends to be slow to respond to crises
