I’m looking for a good instance to join for work use - specifically something with communities focused on cybersecurity, systems engineering, programming, devops, etc. No NSFW stuff, world news, entertainment.

    I’m on the fence about this kind of question - it’s not open so it breaks rule #1. However, I got pushback last time I removed something similar. What’s your preference on this kind of post?

      I feel like it’s rather open, but I see your point. Having re-read the rules it’s likely breaking rule #3 as well.

      I know I can search for instances, but then all I have to go by are the name of the instance, and what the person running it thinks it is. I wanted to get some real feedback about how people are actually using them.

      It seems from the upvote ratio, people generally appreciate that I posted the question here.

        People are helpful here so posts don’t usually get ignored. With that said, each community should have the space to be what it wants to be. These comments are a clear signal that we want to go with open discussion questions.

      Thanks for the input, all. We have a number of tips for finding communities and support in the sidebar. I’ll remove these kinds of posts from now on so that we can focus on discussing interesting, open questions.
