I mod the !iiiiiiitttttttttttt@lemmy.world community, I’ve managed to grow the number of subscribers from 360 to 800.

I’m thinking of moving it to programming.dev. Is this a good idea? I made a post asking this and I’m looking for feedback there.

    1. Yes please, lemmy.world is awful (and in particular hosting there is a disservice to places like Beehaw that don’t feel like dealing with the daily noise and have defederated from them)
    2. Programming.dev seems a little clueless to me in terms of the culture. I read a lot of the userbase’s mindset as sort of “I aspire to be a rock star programmer, check me out I’m awesome” as opposed to “I am good at programming and take it seriously because I care about it.” Of course there is always variability based on the individual, and that first thing is in no short supply anywhere on the internet.
    3. I fully agree with whoever it was that said not everyone will move and that’s okay. You might shut down the old community but just be aware that bottom line, the users are going to do what they want to do.
    4. Maybe sh.itjust.works or lemmy.sdf.org or lemm.ee? Or infosec.pub? All of those seem extremely nerd-friendly without being overly self-important about it.
