Calling all /r/sysadmin reddit refugees! (lemmy.world)

I setup this community specifically because of the time I've spent over the years browsing and relying on reddit.com/r/sysadmin for sources of information on tips/tricks, security exploits & patches, outages, and yes even the ranting about how our jobs all suck. (I like mine, for what it's worth.)

Come on down, ask questions, post what the sysadmin community needs to know about, or head in to get either sympathy or chastisement about why you haven't left your job yet. 🤣

I share your sentiment at this point. I saw a thread where the one Lemmy dev / admin was talking about how they will not use Cloudflare or other major CDNs for lemmy.ml, and that they host on some minor provider because of privacy concerns. They said they were focusing on optimizing the Lemmy code instead to make it more efficient.

While I understand that and those concerns aren't wrong, and certainly the code should always be written to be more efficient... at some point it's going to meet the reality of millions of ex-reddit users hitting them, and they seem wholly unprepared for that. /u/Ruud seems to know what they're doing with lemmy.world and building it to be able to scale.

Even though I've created the /c/Sysadmin sub on a handful of the larger Lemmy servers now, I'm thinking that lemmy.world will be my main going forward.
