I’m looking for others who could be interested in collaborating on hosting Fediverse platforms and tooling, including Lemmy.
The main incentive for this is to build out infrastructure that is super reliable – highly available, geo-diverse, monitoring, best practices, etc, and to have fun doing it with a group of people rather than solo.
We can help contribute towards the shift that is happening from centralized/corporate-owned to decentralized/non-profit. Some of the biggest barriers for services like Mastodon and Lemmy are related to performance, reliability, confusing onboarding, etc. By grouping up we can help improve on these, innovate on tooling and systems that are service-adjacent, and have fun doing it.
Shoot me a PM if interested!
Edit: thanks for all of the responses! Since posting, many people have responded or reached out directly with interest in getting involved.
We have set up Matrix.org channels. You can join here: https://matrix.to/#/#fedicollective:matrix.org
Sure, let me know if this works:
Sorry, maybe I didn’t explain it well. AFAIK you need to add “Published Addresses” in the room settings for it to work via bridges.

Note that this group’s name is currently up for discussion and will change in the next couple days. I’ll update the published addresses when that happens and share them here!
Ah gotcha, I’m not the admin. I believe @tyfi@wirebase.org is, maybe they can enable it?
