The IT related self-reliance communities on reddit should make their own instance. Data hoarder, self hosted, privacy, piracy, etc. The only unfortunate thing is the entire internet is run on advertising so it's challenging to fund instances. Normalize paying for services you use.
It is kinda like r/selfhosted that stays on reddit even though it is turning to shit when the communities are about being able to manage a server and a shit ton of atorage
It's unfortunate that the active c/datahoarder is on lemmy.ml, because it always derails the conversation into the tankie question. But it's honestly on brand for there to be multiple c/datahoarder communities on Lemmy. You know, for backup and redundancy purposes 😏
