Keep things in perspective
A programming language is rarely worth getting worked up over.
No zealotry or fanaticism.

Consolidating on one Lemmy instance (self.rustlang)

[Disclaimer: Lemmy newb here]

There are currently 3 Rust communities across 3 instances: programming.dev, lemmyrs.org and this one (lemmy.ml). I know it's still very early for the migration from /r/rust, but it would split the community if there are so many options and nobody knows which is the "right" one. Currently this community has the most subscribers, but it would make sense if the Rust community finds its new home in one of the other instances.

lemmyrs.org seems like the logical solution if instance-wide rules are paramount and "non-negotiable"

personally I would love a programming-centric instance and programming.dev seems like a good way. Rust is not the only language I'm actively using (unfortunately :)). Maybe there can be community-specific rules that "enforce" the Rust CoC and the Rust community can find a home there?

Either way, the current situation has the most negative impact.

As I mentioned in later comments, my first impression was nothing more than a first impression. When I learned that it was not just some random person that threw up an instance but some respected mods I circled back and had a closer look. And at a closer look, I admit that my first impression was wrong, it seems like a quite well managed instance with great potential. I actually created an account that to evaluate that, to see where I finally will end up when the dust have settled. So thanks for your effort, and sorry for my poor first impressions. But it really doesn't matter what I think, what matters is where the prominent rust front figures choose to hang out, I hope that will include one of the lemmy forums.

I completely understand! I don't expect people to trust random strangers on the internet, so I was just commenting with information about me so that others would know what was up.

I completely agree. Thanks for responding back and I'm hopeful that the Rust community is able to create a new space that we're able to participate in, wherever that may be.
