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.
Be happy to. Been wondering the same thing. I’ve got a public ip’d VPS that I’ve been wanting to use as a single k8s server or docker server, to host Lemmy and PixelFed containers. Also I can’t figure out how to PM you in the Mlem app lol. Can you PM me?
