Oh I didn't realize it was unmoderated. I would prefer this one ~~if we could~~ but it would be nice to find people to moderate it.

Admin moderation would likely be ok for this community since I don't expect a high workload, but it's not ideal

Finding moderators might be the biggest challenge

It wasn't that difficult for the Linux community a while back, was it? I am once again adding my name to the volunteer list, though, just in case.

Regarding the version, I think I remember some p.dev discussion on the possibility of migrating to Sublinks. Wonder if that's related.

Edit: I don't think it is. Seems they simply want to wait a week or two before updating.

@otter@lemmy.ca @Blaze@sopuli.xyz

Please know that even while our communities are moderated by @Vacant@programming.dev us admins are still making sure the content is within our TOS and community guidelines🤗

although it would be nice to find volunteer moderators as it would help distribute both power and responsibilities🌻🍀

Interesting, but the issue is beehaw is that they defederated both lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, so around 20k monthly active users out of the 50k of Lemmy: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/

Well there's also their adventure of deciding whether they want to stay on the fediverse or do their own thing. I haven't seen anything on that from them recently, but last I saw (early this year) was that they were certainly thinking about leaving.

Moving to Sublinks which is designed to have full feature parity with Lemmy

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But even with Sublinks, would Beehaw refederate with LW and SJW at some point? That's the core of the issue

[–] Cube6392@beehaw.org 3 points 1 week ago

I think that hinges on how Sublinks moderation tools develop. That said the Beehaw admins are really burned out from how hard to moderate a federated forum has been on Lemmy so I'd think there might be hesitation before re-enabling federation with those two, especially since they're wanting to move to whitelist federation and SJW specifically (at least back when I was paying attention to it) moved to an admin format that tends to be slow to respond to crises
