Not really. It's incredibly frustrating and I've def lost some faith in humanity.
I thought /r/selfhosted would be ready to jump but everyone is like "but there's no users on lemmy" and "you'll split the community" and "we're going to go dark for two days - that will teach them!"
Consequently there's been no support for any single refuge.
Additionally people have set up several communities here with similar names in the past but now mods aren't responding so it's all a bit of a mess.
Idk which ones you've tried but I know there's !selfhosted@lemmy.world
As far as the "no single refuge" thing, I think that just comes with time as people decide "imma post in this one". Just pick one and go for it tbh.
yeah that one has one subscriber!
If you search from your own instance, I think it only shows the subscribers from your own instance. So browsing from lemmy.ml there might be one subscriber but on lemmy.world there would be 77.
Wow. Ok. That's good to know thanks.
Actually I just noticed that when you search for say, "selfhosted" you'll only be shown results that people have already accessed from the instance you're on. So when you search for a community, if none are shown that doesn't mean none exist, just that no one on your instance have accessed them yet ?
