Linux gets a lot of love there on Fedi, so I think it would be cool if BSD would get some of it too.

For those unaware it's a Unix-like operation system, one of they key differences from Linux is a more permissive license, so PlayStation 4 or MacOS are originally based on it.

There's a list of existing communities:

Apparently, there's also a Lemmy instance dedicated to BSD — https://blendit.bsd.cafe/

Note: No .ml communities, as my instance is defederated from them.

Are the commands mostly the same on both (sudo, apt update, etc.)?

Not the ones you mention, they are not traditional unix. Sudo is common though.

apt isn't even common on linux (pacman or rpm are also used).
