Hello.
I’ve gone by a few names, but I’m trying to consolidate under l_b_i. I’m originally from the Mid Atlantic area and really want to move back there.
I dabble in professional and hobbyist in embedded electronic things, hardware, software, programmable hardware, anything really. Recently I’ve been trying to learn some web stuff. My current time sink is solving well crafted variant Sudokus.
I’ve been enjoying furry art since I first found it just over 10 years ago, but I’ve only started interacting online since joining here.
I go by Consort online, it’s been my name of choice since about… 2014? 2015? Anyways, I’m really into dragons, but I’ve always been able to appreciate furry art.
I like playing DnD over Discord, though it’s a pain to find reliable players.
Otherwise… I prefer to keep my IRL stuff private within reason, but I live in the UK. I’d like to own a house one day, but despite saving, it just doesn’t seem realistic.
Are we talking about a big open group where unlimited people can join. If so wouldn’t that make more sense as a community on this (or other furry) instances? Because at one critical count of members one chat channel would turn out to be very confusing, since many topics would be discussed at once.
Or are you talking about a more private one, where you are searching for members?
I either case I would love to join.
I study informatics and do parttime frontend and backend web-development. One of my hobbies is “self-hosting”, which means I have some knowledge with sysadmin stuff. Only my knowledge in the fediverse is lacking at the moment, but I’m on it.
I was thinking of a semi-private group actually. Public access, but nothing massive. The idea is that we could also make friends in there as we hang out and discuss fedi related topics.
Nothing speaks against just trying. If too little people join the chat can be deleted at any time again.
Since you are aiming for tech people, a matrix group would make sense. Also it is well integrated with lemmy. When you add your matrix address in the profile it enables the “secure message” button.
One downside with Matrix seems to be, that you cannot create an invite link, you either have it public (and then it is visible for all people on the matrix instance) or private (invite via username). I would opt for a DM for invite method. Similar how registering to this instance works. We could announce that in this community.
Feel free to DM me, if you want to discus that further!
I think this is interesting, but feel this could end up being a bit of a weird group, especially with very mixed skill levels.
Personally I enjoy helping beginners since it’s a fun field and I like to encourage more people to get into it, but I feel it might end up being quite one sided.
This doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea, I just might not be super successful.
I myself am a professional dev I think and do also a lot of things that fall under the sysadmin umbrella.
