I'm looking for others who could be interested in collaborating on hosting Fediverse platforms and tooling, including Lemmy.

The main incentive for this is to build out infrastructure that is super reliable -- highly available, geo-diverse, monitoring, best practices, etc, and to have fun doing it with a group of people rather than solo.

We can help contribute towards the shift that is happening from centralized/corporate-owned to decentralized/non-profit. Some of the biggest barriers for services like Mastodon and Lemmy are related to performance, reliability, confusing onboarding, etc. By grouping up we can help improve on these, innovate on tooling and systems that are service-adjacent, and have fun doing it.

Shoot me a PM if interested!

Edit: thanks for all of the responses! Since posting, many people have responded or reached out directly with interest in getting involved.

what do you have in mind?

I prefer working in teams rather than solo - assuming many others do, too!

Getting a core group together to collaborate on hosting, first, and approaching with some structure so that its resilient. In addition to that, identifying areas where we can fill Fediverse gaps or innovate (onboarding processes came to mind initially), but totally up for discussion on what others think could be most beneficial.
