Just checking the vibe. I see that this community doesn’t have much activity, but maybe people are interested in migrating here amidst the reddit controversy.

I migrated fully from reddit. Deleted my comments and account. This will be my replacement for r/archlinux
- HumbleHogfish ( @HumbleHogfish@lemmy.one ) English4•1 year ago
Supporting open source while doing so.

Yeah, I’m here for the foreseeable future… my rif app is gone, and I don’t think I’ll reinstallinstall it, just like when twitter became fedilab (I’m on linuxrocks.online over there), rif is now jerboa. And I’m going deeper into the fediverse.
And I’ll admit… Since I joined both apps have been growing on me quite fast

I’ve been feeling a bit done with reddit for a while now. This is the first time I see such a viable alternative! I really think if things like this pick up traction the internet will get better for once.
- JollyRoberts ( @JollyRoberts@lemmy.ml ) English3•1 year ago
Im sticking with the fediverse.

I can’t even remember if I subscribed to r/archlinux over there, I’ve eradicated my account now so it doesn’t really matter. The important bits are (1) I’m an Arch user, amd64 and arm7hf mainly. (2) I’m subbed to this community. May it live long and prosper!
- FirstWizardZorander ( @FirstWizardZorander@lemmy.world ) English3•1 year ago
Yep! I’m going to hand my subreddits over to others in their respective communities, and possibly delete my account after that.
I have high hopes for Lemmy.
- businessfish ( @businessfish@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 3•1 year ago
yep! the only thing i used reddit for (other than funny pictures, which we could all realistically do without) was tech support and discussing linux-related topics. And it seems, at least for now, the userbase swings pretty heavily towards tech savvy people so I’m sure this place will be great :)

This is likely my new home for all random things archlinux. Thank you for establishing it.
- M-Reimer ( @M_Reimer@lemmy.world ) English2•1 year ago
I’ll give Lemmy a try, now and currently this seems to be the “to go” community for Arch Linux. So I’ll be around here for a while.
- fabiscafe ( @fabiscafe@lemmy.world ) 2•1 year ago
It’s just that .ml is down currently. So a bit hard to tell how this keeps working. Buuut nice to see you.
The lemmy.ml situation is unfortunate. This is the time where people will be interested to check alternatives out and the only community named after arch linux is down. I don’t know if we should give it a couple of days or just start another community elsewhere.

Do you know why it’s down?
There was a comment by one of the devs, which I’ve lost now, saying they misconfigured ipv6 and this caused 502 errors. It seems to be up now. We will see how things go from here.
- wintersummerland ( @wintersummerland@discuss.tchncs.de ) English2•1 year ago
Yes
- ElectricFire ( @ElectricFire@beehaw.org ) English2•1 year ago
Im done with reddit for now, so here i shall stay
- ZachAR3 ( @ZachAR3@lemmy.world ) English2•1 year ago
Planning on it for the most part, likely to use in conjunction with reddit if they reverse API decisions though.
- exu ( @exu@feditown.com ) English2•1 year ago
Yep, most likely permanently here from now on instead of reddit. Caught myself opening Infinity twice on the 11th so I uninstalled it. :)
