I’m looking for others who could be interested in collaborating on hosting Fediverse platforms and tooling, including Lemmy.
The main incentive for this is to build out infrastructure that is super reliable – highly available, geo-diverse, monitoring, best practices, etc, and to have fun doing it with a group of people rather than solo.
We can help contribute towards the shift that is happening from centralized/corporate-owned to decentralized/non-profit. Some of the biggest barriers for services like Mastodon and Lemmy are related to performance, reliability, confusing onboarding, etc. By grouping up we can help improve on these, innovate on tooling and systems that are service-adjacent, and have fun doing it.
Shoot me a PM if interested!
Edit: thanks for all of the responses! Since posting, many people have responded or reached out directly with interest in getting involved.
I left skillsets out of my original post because there are many ways for people to contribute beyond sys eng. Generally though - industry experience in tech.
Well I have 12 years of exp as a dev I might be able to help out :) I would love to know more, btw it seems wefwef has no way to send DMs yet it seems?
Glad I read this comment, finally. I just spent 10 minutes trying to work out how to send a DM and assuming it was just me not being used to a new app and missing it.
