Hi all! I used to be a daily r/selfhosted lurker and a bit active user. Since the Reddit saga I thought that r/selfhosted would be one of the first and bigger community to move to Lemmy due to the IT knowledge of all of their users and the sensitivity about self host/privacy/open source, but I see that not only the community is still all there, but it's rising. :( That really makes me sad. How can we convince the mods there to move people here? Is it allowed to talk about Lemmy on Reddit or do we risk of being banned?

You got it all wrong, everyone is on Threads ................ Nah, I just subscribed to learn about starting some self hosting. I'm running a local media server, which was easy, but want to branch out to photo backup from my various phones/accounts. Getting nervous that Google will just close my account one day for no reason. Anyway, don't fret, the community doesn't need to be 💯 today, it'll get there.

I personally believe reddit will live on, that's just the way its going to be. I dropped off, but my account is still there.
