Linux gets a lot of love there on Fedi, so I think it would be cool if BSD would get some of it too.
For those unaware it’s a Unix-like operation system, one of they key differences from Linux is a more permissive license, so PlayStation 4 or MacOS are originally based on it.
There’s a list of existing communities:
- !bsd@lemmy.sdf.org (Semi-Active)
- !bsd@programming.dev
- !freebsd@blendit.bsd.cafe
- !freebsd@lemmy.world
- !netbsd@blendit.bsd.cafe
- !netbsd@lemmy.sdf.org
- !openbsd@blendit.bsd.cafe
- !OpenBSD@fedia.io
- !openbsd@lemmy.sdf.org (Semi-Active)
Apparently, there’s also a Lemmy instance dedicated to BSD — https://blendit.bsd.cafe/
Note: No .ml communities, as my instance is defederated from them.
Yup, you’re correct, makes me wonder if any of them would be open for consolation. I tried to request one on my instance, as it’s been dead for the last 2 years.
Excellent start.
Have you reached out to any of the community members, community moderators, or if inactive, instance admins?
We have a step-by-step consolidation guide pinned on !fedigrow@lemmy.zip.
No, I haven’t, but you’re open to do so if you have the motivation. I already organized consolidation, so I’m aware of how it works.
I’m already stretched a bit thin, and I know almost nothing about BSD, so I feel it would not be my place to do so.
