    I still don’t understand if this one is the “official” replacement of r/homelab 🤔 can someone give me some informations about that?

      it’s not official, also the mod here seems to be inactive. but it’s the biggest homelab lemmy I could find on https://browse.feddit.de/
      I don’t know where all the people from r/homelab have gone. some other subreddit that have closed have flooded into lemmy but r/homelab doesn’t seem to have done that.

        A lot are on discord, but the mods are looking at an official Lemmy alternative. At the moment lemmy.ml is having significant issues so I’m not sure how that’s impacting federation, but hopefully they improve their servers soon…

        Personally I don’t think Lemmy is really a great alternative in its current state especially with servers being able to defederate other servers, meaning that users registered on Beehaw for example can’t now view communities hosted on lemmy.world which seems to entirely defeat the purpose to me…

            I don’t know if self hosting is good for this purpose. What if something happens to the owner of the server or to the server itself? I think it is better to use something like lemmy.world, lm or other instances of Lemmy
