Home of the sh.itjust.works instance.
Shoutout to our hard-working maintainers, first of all.
Wanted to open a space for the community to discuss this aspect of marketing/identity.

That's partly why I'm here. I don't want a big place where every normie shows up, and it just becomes facebook. Does this specific sever want to become a mega-platform?
For heroin! It binds together all life.
I won't go so far as to use the word "normie" like this is 4chan, but I will say: I think it's fine. I'd rather have slow growth, thanks. I'm not the arbiter of what kind of users we should attract or anything, but if they have a problem with our silly name I don't want to hang out with them.
I thought it was for shell script aficionados.
yeah, who would ever be on such an instance
haha
Cross-post the thing to another instance, then share that link.
Are people actually sharing fediverse links directly? I just save the image or copy the link the post is linking to, and share that.
You could always use lemmy.org
How do we know that instance will stay afloat though? I see search engines indexing Lemmy already, but they're all scattered with whatever instance they happened to get in touch with.
Could build a reverse proxy to mask Lemmy links behind something that seems more legit
