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. 🤣
Want to be a mod? Let me know!
Yeah I came here from Reddit, sysadmin was one of the first communities I looked for. We need a place we can feel sane.
We definitely need somewhere to bitch first and foremost
Sure, but we also need someplace to share ideas, problems, solutions, and any other resources we can.
Every single one of us knows that you can’t know everything there is to know about IT, communities like this make all of our jobs easier.
wait, what? I thought you IT guys knew every piece of software and hardware in existence, for all time?? /s if it wasn’t clear
So we need a GrumpySysAdmin. :)
Have you thought about importing some of the data from reddit to here? There was some much useful infomation that I would hate to lose.
I came for the rm, but stayed for the -rf
I’ve been known to spend some time over there.
One thing I’m wondering about is how people moving from Reddit to one of these Fediverse sites are going to end up finding their “home”. Like, would we need some sort of sharing bot to work between here, sysadmin@lemmy.world, sysadmin@sh.itjust.works, etc. or are we going to end up in a situation where they’re all fragmented from one another?
I found this community via a 2-pronged approach. First, direct search on kbin, and then i used sub.rehab to verify that i’ve got the correct “community” (?)
I’ve never seen this site before but wow this is going to be super helpful to new users.
