I hate how often Discord is mentioned as a viable alternative, how that is even remotely close to a link-aggregator fora is beyond me.

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
And equally important: another proprietary service that has a single point of failure which is large enough that governments will know about it and target it if they want to silence dissent. Federation or completely standalone is the only way to go imo.
The IT related self-reliance communities on reddit should make their own instance. Data hoarder, self hosted, privacy, piracy, etc. The only unfortunate thing is the entire internet is run on advertising so it's challenging to fund instances. Normalize paying for services you use.
Thats what happened on dbzer0 iirc. Former reddit mod went lemmy admin. Correct me if I got that wrong.
But in any case, it is what I did as well. ;)
Why does that door say pirate? Do you think a pirate lives there?
It is kinda like r/selfhosted that stays on reddit even though it is turning to shit when the communities are about being able to manage a server and a shit ton of atorage
At the last exodus, some created https://selfhosted.forum/, but it's pretty dead. You are right. It is tragically comical.
Some are luckily mentioning Lemmy, but so many is talking about Discord haha
Huh... Blocked. Reddit's getting snitty. They're feeling threatened.
It's been like that for a while
I wonder if linking to rxddit.com would fix it. Does that site even work still?
It's unfortunate that the active c/datahoarder is on lemmy.ml, because it always derails the conversation into the tankie question. But it's honestly on brand for there to be multiple c/datahoarder communities on Lemmy. You know, for backup and redundancy purposes 😏
Shout out to @cm0002@lemmy.world for getting some activity going on !datahoarder@lemmy.world.
