r/selfhosted is still rising, WTF? Come to Lemmy!!!

peregus@lemmy.world to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 778 points –

Hi all! I used to be a daily r/selfhosted lurker and a bit active user. Since the Reddit saga I thought that r/selfhosted would be one of the first and bigger community to move to Lemmy due to the IT knowledge of all of their users and the sensitivity about self host/privacy/open source, but I see that not only the community is still all there, but it's rising. :( That really makes me sad. How can we convince the mods there to move people here? Is it allowed to talk about Lemmy on Reddit or do we risk of being banned?

Same with r/antiwork they closed briefly and when Reddit sneezed their way, they opened the sub instantly. Talking about hypocrisy.

There's a lot of subs like these which I don't want to name. Basically, subs with anti-corpo principles but refuses to leave corpo Reddit. I'm happy for the subs who are still dark even until now (and even more reason to be now that Reddit is deleting older DMs and removing awards/coins).

Why not name them? Personally, I'm most disappointed in r/cyberpunk. They kind of proved they are all about neon lights.

Every movement, subculture, whatever is just about fashion for 98% of the people involved. Fashion is easy. Values are hard.

It's the old, stay in bed with the devil instead of sleeping in the cold.

Well, imho, at least half of r/antiwork posts were escapist fiction of how one should have replied to their manager.
