Reviving !linux@programming.dev as an alternative to !linux@lemmy.ml

As usual with the fediverse, choice is key.

There were quite a few complaints on !fediverse@lemmy.world about !linux@lemmy.ml not having any real alternative (https://reddthat.com/post/20166234), so let's see if we can revive the programming.dev one.

And if it fails, at least we tried.

I dont get these alternatives. Lemmy needs a feature to mirror communities to other servers. Having 2 is annoying
- We still have !asklemmy@lemmy.world and !asklemmy@lemmy.ml side by side.
  I guess in this case the question is if you are okay with lemmy.ml moderation practices: https://slrpnk.net/post/10244872
  
  Crazy read, yes Lemmy.ml is problematic.
  But some kind of post mirroring is still needed to make this really work.
Isn't there more active !linux@lemmy.world already?
- I had a quick look, no post for 2 days, the two post of todays are reposts from someone who posted them to !linux@programming.dev too. The mod hasn't been active for a month.
  And having a community off LW for a change is nice, this is like hitting two birds with one stone.
  
  I was looking at weekly and monthly stats, as well as the amount of subscribers. Though I agree that the most recent data shows that !linux@programming.dev is probably more active. And this community fits programming.dev more. I'll subscribe to both and see where it goes :s
Should I make a new account for / on programming.dev then?
- No, this is accessible via https://lemmy.ml/c/linux@programming.dev for you!
- Just leave Lemmy.ml.
  
  but I already left reddit
