Several people post about #rust and #rustlang on the fediverse. Could those posts be automatically pulled in here, e.g. into a dedicated community instance?
I'd prefer it was this instance, i.e. a top-level instance. What’s cool about running this threaded-links thing from the top layer (multi-instance), is we can have a nice collection of sub-reddits for key Rust topics that are big enough to carry micro-communities of their own, such as:
cli
wasm
networking
embedded
gamedev
security
Other instances can also have a rust community, but they'd be federated to this primary one.
Please participate in the poll. Question is whether we should migrate control, maintenance, community operations etc to Nivenly (Hackyderm) foundation.
I'm not an active member of the Hachyderm/Nivenly org, but I condone their approach. It's common knowledge by now that Rust's biggest challenge of late has not been technical, but rather social and organizational. It is a consistently underappreciated aspect of open source practice. The most important part of Hachyderm's existing infrastructure is their social architecture.
Like @admin has said, this site will inevitably be a multi-person effort to maintain. Partnering up with an established org is a good way to help with that scaling challenge during the rather time-critical moment we're in.
Hachyderm was considering starting their own Lemmy instance, which is why I suggested they should partner up with existing projects like lemmyrs instead, so we can avoid further fragmentation during these early days.

How can we federate with the #rust hashtag?
