You can look that up yourself. Click on Communities -> All Communities and search for "FOSS" and it'll show them. Another search term would be "open-source".

Edit: And I'm not a mod here, but I think you'll want to ask these questions in a different community. !newcomers@piefed.zip or !piefed_help@piefed.social are good for beginner questions.

Thank you very much for creating that link. I don't think there's any loose community on floss/open source where anything and everything can be discussed.

Lul wat. This site searches only on the lemmy side of things, if I search for "opensource" there are 33 communities: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=opensource

It's literally one of the most discussed topic here. There are multiple general communities, one of the most active is !opensource@lemmy.ml , another one is !foss@beehaw.org

Look through feeds on piefed.social. As you are on another Piefed instance those can federate to your instance

Well it depend on everyone free time ^^'

I can't speak in place of Rimu but maybe he is already busy with piefed development and maintening piefed.social ?

I recommend you creating a post on feddit.online for recruiting mods. You will have to post regulary and if the topic interest people, they will naturally come.

That's a good start. For now we can't comment a lot because there is no posts yet. Once you fill with content we will explore, and people that love your topic will join you. :)

Maybe it was a federation issue. I retrieved all posts from your community. There is a beautiful button for that in the sidebar. :)

As for the post, i haven't watched them yet, sorry, i'm setting up my new proxmox server for the upcoming french piefed instance :)

I think you can improve the title of your posts. Look, what's the difference between those two titles ? :)

When you share a link there, that already meant that you find them interesting, it think it is better to move your opinion inside the body text. πŸ˜‰

I would give them a more explicit title And short title to tell users what those topic are about so they can quickly decide to read them or not. And in the body, you can add a small summary :

In the new report Breaking Free: Pathways to a fair technological future, the Norwegian Consumer Council has delved into enshittification and how to resist it.

And some hashtag so it will spread you post on the fediverse, for example mastodon. When users will click on words in the tag cloud, they can find similar content. :)
