Oh I'm not saying what your doing over at programming.dev is wrong or insufficient... Honestly I don't know what your doing to ensure the lemmy server exists long term (though its great to hear you've got some policies in place already).
I'm more thinking the rust community should evaluate options and vote, or some rust subgroup of the leadership should set criteria to ensure that another reddit-type event doesn't happen again (the home of this community must be open-source, with data backups publicly available, with a governing body and a line of succession or something, etc).
If programming.dev meets those things today, I'd say sure lets move there. I think its better to have a lemmy instance for a concept (computer science) than a specific topic (rust), but that's just me
Oh yes, I completely understood you weren't saying that. I'm asking what we can do to make it more likely for the community to want to be at !rust@programming.dev! I want to do as much as possible! The rust community would be a huge benefit to others in the instance, and we think others will be more likely to want to work on the Lemmy project if the Rust community does join. Having programmers alongside each other will be really helpful to us all I think.
Yeah I'd love to see this! The data backups being publicly available might cause a problem (then your usernames and passwords have a chance of being cracked 😬), but other than that, yeah I completely agree!
