I setup this community specifically because of the time I’ve spent over the years browsing and relying on reddit.com/r/sysadmin for sources of information on tips/tricks, security exploits & patches, outages, and yes even the ranting about how our jobs all suck. (I like mine, for what it’s worth.)

Come on down, ask questions, post what the sysadmin community needs to know about, or head in to get either sympathy or chastisement about why you haven’t left your job yet. 🤣

    Howdy! I actually left /r/sysadmin a long time ago because I found that 90% of posts were just salty IT techs bitching about dumb end users. While I definitely understand the frustration after 15 years in IT, I always hoped for a slightly more constructive community. Hopefully this can be that place!

    Who else here was a refugee from Digg to Reddit?

    I see a lot of parallels with the path that Reddit is going down that reminds me of the fall of Digg. I see the Reddit API backlash basically being the same as the backlash that Digg v4 got from community members.

    Hell yeah! Glad to see this be rebuilt in the fediverse, I’m also a Reddit refugee and while I’ll missy cranky sysadmin rants… I’m not going back to Reddit

    Hey, I was wondering what are the rules regarding crossposting from /r/sysadmin? Or is only “original” content allowed?

      Sure, crosspost away. As long as we’re not getting too many duplicate posts within /c/sysadmin about the same topic, it doesn’t matter much the source.

    Just subscribed, came here for the same reasons! Hoping this place can take off, because main reason I was going to give Reddit a single of iota of traffic going forward was for the Mega Patch Tuesday Threads, those are so insanely helpful that they are the first place I go before patching now. Hopefully we’ll some going in here as well, maybe our lord and savior JoshTaco will grace us with their presence as well 🤞 🚬

    Cheers!

    Howdy. Not a sysadmin yet, but definitely a reddit refugee. Currently taking a break from changing passwords and running gpupdate to keep exploring this glorious neck of the interwebs

    Thank you for creating this community and taking on mod responsibilities.

    /r/sysadmin was one of the reasons I got back to reddit in the first place and I hope it does the same for others here in the fediverse.

    Without RiF, Reddit has managed to push me away. I’m here via WefWef on Android. Thank you.

      I keep seeing people talk about wefwef but I dont see it in the play store. Do you have to install it separately? I know I can get it from their website but it feels a bit sketch that I dont see it in the play store.
