Several people post about #rust and #rustlang on the fediverse. Could those posts be automatically pulled in here, e.g. into a dedicated community instance?
Hello! I’ve been invited to try out the mod-life for a bit, so here goes. Never managed a Lemmy instance before so will be learning as I go.
More about me: https://github.com/erlend-sh
I'd prefer it was this instance, i.e. a top-level instance. What’s cool about running this threaded-links thing from the top layer (multi-instance), is we can have a nice collection of sub-reddits for key Rust topics that are big enough to carry micro-communities of their own, such as:
- cli
- wasm
- networking
- embedded
- gamedev
- security
Other instances can also have a rust community, but they'd be federated to this primary one.
Hey. I'm the one who sent the DM, following up from this initiative: https://users.rust-lang.org/t/building-a-better-r-rust-together/95194
I'm not an active member of the Hachyderm/Nivenly org, but I condone their approach. It's common knowledge by now that Rust's biggest challenge of late has not been technical, but rather social and organizational. It is a consistently underappreciated aspect of open source practice. The most important part of Hachyderm's existing infrastructure is their social architecture.
Like @admin@lemmyrs.org has said, this site will inevitably be a multi-person effort to maintain. Partnering up with an established org is a good way to help with that scaling challenge during the rather time-critical moment we're in.
Hachyderm was considering starting their own Lemmy instance, which is why I suggested they should partner up with existing projects like lemmyrs instead, so we can avoid further fragmentation during these early days.
