As someone with CPTSD, OCD and Bipolar + psychosis, definetely mental health subs. Particularly suicidewatch.
I’ve found an instance of Sysadmin ! here, with around 6k members (at time of writing)
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !sysadmin@lemmy.world
Yes, but it’s quite inactive. That community basically died shortly after the Reddit exodus. Check the stickied Patch Tuesday megathread for instance, it hasn’t been updated in two months, which shows that the mods have abandoned the community or don’t care - and given that no users posted there either, it seems like users also stopped caring.
Definitely, the three most are mostly missing.
I’m always surprised nobody claimed it as most of people on Lemmy are probably in tech.
Most Lemmy tech people are skewed towards FOSS, from what I’ve seen. Not that it’s a bad thing mind you.
Linux sysadmins are just a different breed, most of their issues/discussions revolve around the choice of distro or around corporate takeovers/license changes (Terraform, LXD etc), and very rarely about actual issues (because there are rarely any issues that matter or can’t be fixed easily, if you’re doing your job right). Whereas in the Windows world we’re at the mercy of Microsoft, and often have to rely on the community coming for feedback around issues and workarounds (cause MS support is useless), or because Microsoft is bent upon taking away choice, we’ve have to rely upon the community coming up with innovative solutions for various things. So yea, I really do miss seeing those sort of discussions, as they were quite helpful for my job and gave a lot of insight on different things. Even if there were no issues, just reading about different infrastructure setups and configurations at various workplaces was quite enlightening.
