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

unmoderated
instance is still on 0.19.3, no news about updating yet

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🌻🍀

If anyone is interested in Modding it, contact @Ategon@programming.dev

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/
