I hope to see this community take off and take precedence over the one on lemmy.ml. I have been disappointed the past couple of days because most of the IT related subs seemed to be there and they have only been intermittently available and they seem to be having some trouble with federating their content to other instances. It's not their fault, they are clearly being hugged much too tightly.

Also I know its just the nature of things to have competing subs, even on Reddit it happened. But I'd prefer not to have a split-brain situation with a sysadmin community nor do I want to be forced in to cross posting everything to both communities to increase my chances of engagement.

Howdy! I actually left /r/sysadmin a long time ago because I found that 90% of posts were just salty IT techs bitching about dumb end users. While I definitely understand the frustration after 15 years in IT, I always hoped for a slightly more constructive community. Hopefully this can be that place!

Thanks @DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world for getting this going. I have high hopes 😊 if you need any mod support, please let me know.

Who else here was a refugee from Digg to Reddit?

I see a lot of parallels with the path that Reddit is going down that reminds me of the fall of Digg. I see the Reddit API backlash basically being the same as the backlash that Digg v4 got from community members.

Hell yeah! Glad to see this be rebuilt in the fediverse, I’m also a Reddit refugee and while I’ll missy cranky sysadmin rants… I’m not going back to Reddit

Glad this is here! /r/sysadmin is super useful and hopefully we can create a similar community here.

@DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world if you need more mods, I'd be happy to help!

Im done with reddit! Will try and be more active here posting info and answering questions.

Without RiF, Reddit has managed to push me away. I'm here via WefWef on Android. Thank you.

Just subscribed, came here for the same reasons! Hoping this place can take off, because main reason I was going to give Reddit a single of iota of traffic going forward was for the Mega Patch Tuesday Threads, those are so insanely helpful that they are the first place I go before patching now. Hopefully we'll some going in here as well, maybe our lord and savior JoshTaco will grace us with their presence as well 🤞 🚬

Cheers!

Thank you for creating this community and taking on mod responsibilities.

/r/sysadmin was one of the reasons I got back to reddit in the first place and I hope it does the same for others here in the fediverse.

Glad to be here! (an ex 11-year Reditor)

Hey, I was wondering what are the rules regarding crossposting from /r/sysadmin? Or is only "original" content allowed?

Howdy. Not a sysadmin yet, but definitely a reddit refugee. Currently taking a break from changing passwords and running gpupdate to keep exploring this glorious neck of the interwebs

You rang?

Nice! It feels like home.
