Are the homelab communities dead? (lemmy.world)

I've been selfhosting my video / photo / book collections for a while now and also running other services like personal bugeting, piehole DNS, and stuff like that.

Lately I've been working on the hardware side of my home network. I'm looking for some advice and normally I'd turn to one of the homelab communities. But the three communities I found hadn't had much or any activity in the past 6 months.

I considered asking a question here related to my switch and my wifi access point. I bet there are lots of clever folks in this community. But before hitting submit I remembered to check the community rules in the side bar and noticed rule #3:

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing.

Where do all the lovely self-hosters here turn when they want to chat networking or server hardware? Anyone have some recommendations for neighbouring communities they find useful?

I summarized what i want hosted with usercount and seached for the minimum total cost for running these services reliantly 24/7 for 15 years. I found some really nice platforms and CPU combinations. To my shame I asked in the Reddit nixos sub if a platform I found is compatible with nixos so I think some subs are only viable with enough total users. I wouldn't have though to post that in lemmy just because I dont know where.

Maybe we could share some IT themed lemmies? I am in a few: foss, linux, privacy, cybersecurity.

With best regards, iig
