Trying to make [email protected] a thing, but so far
allbymyself.gif. Was sort of looking to have it as a sysadminy discussion thing, but lemmy is too small for it, yet, so it’s just a bunch of links to The Register, Drew DeVault and a couple others.The name might not directly say what this is about, which might limit the chances of someone stumbling upon it. Maybe [email protected] would make it more clear?
Maybe, but then I’m not aiming for generic sysadmin. I was hoping to get true graybeards to share their experience(s). It’ll get there, I think, but it will take a lot more than just a few tens of thousands of users to get enough people from the crowd.
Then maybe try to promote it on [email protected] and [email protected] ? That can help
I might have to. Feels weird advertising it, though. Maybe it’s just all in my head
It’s really okay with how difficult community discoverability is
I wish there was a wiki here, or a better way to keep “long running” information. I can pin posts, but that’s not always the best, and it feels like “This post is more important than everything else”. Maybe I should spin one up sometime
Linked posts in the sidebar kind of works. Embedded wiki would be great indeed
Linked posts are crap, because they link to a specific instance and you cannot participate unless you are on that instance or search the /c for the topic on your home instance yourself. At least i have not found a way to link to posts in a way that keeps you on your instance like with linking (distant) communities.
Also, for wiki style information (so that people would just read), it should be okay to link to another instance
Alright, did not know about lemmyverse.link, that is an OK workaround. Thanks.
You are welcome
Sidebar links are arguably better anyway. Pinned posts don’t always federate that way beyond the instance of the mod doing it. There are so many quirky things about running and moderating federated communities on the current version of Lemmy.
Wait, pinned posts don’t federate properly? That’s very interesting.
Try pinning something and then checking it from another instance. My experience has been very inconsistent, especially when using an account on a different instance than the community is on.
I concur
