I hope to see this community take off and take precedence over the one on lemmy.ml. I have been disappointed the past couple of days because most of the IT related subs seemed to be there and they have only been intermittently available and they seem to be having some trouble with federating their content to other instances. It's not their fault, they are clearly being hugged much too tightly.

Also I know its just the nature of things to have competing subs, even on Reddit it happened. But I'd prefer not to have a split-brain situation with a sysadmin community nor do I want to be forced in to cross posting everything to both communities to increase my chances of engagement.

Howdy! I actually left /r/sysadmin a long time ago because I found that 90% of posts were just salty IT techs bitching about dumb end users. While I definitely understand the frustration after 15 years in IT, I always hoped for a slightly more constructive community. Hopefully this can be that place!

Im done with reddit! Will try and be more active here posting info and answering questions.

Hell yeah! Glad to see this be rebuilt in the fediverse, I’m also a Reddit refugee and while I’ll missy cranky sysadmin rants… I’m not going back to Reddit

Glad to be here! (an ex 11-year Reditor)

Glad this is here! /r/sysadmin is super useful and hopefully we can create a similar community here.

@DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world if you need more mods, I'd be happy to help!

Hey, I was wondering what are the rules regarding crossposting from /r/sysadmin? Or is only "original" content allowed?

Without RiF, Reddit has managed to push me away. I'm here via WefWef on Android. Thank you.

Thanks @DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world for getting this going. I have high hopes 😊 if you need any mod support, please let me know.
