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, at least 22 people have responded or reached out directly with interest in getting involved.

I’ve set up a Discord server as a rally point for us to start collaborating. As a first step, I’ll be putting a doc together for us to review and align on initial vision and goals.
