Great writeup!

I'm trying to see who is still active on Lemmy and try to unite the electrical engineering community together. I've noticed that a lot of the old reddit.com/r/embedded (and other such subreddits) seem to have come during the #RedditBlackout, but then kind of went back to Reddit (maybe??) after the whole Blackout event ended.

I'm posting at !microcontrollers@lemux.minnix.dev personally. But I'm just drifting around, looking for the community. There's a pretty active poster at lemmy.ca talking about his Maple Syrup microcontroller stuff as well. See !arduino@lemmy.ca. For me personally, I'm going to write a few more beginner-level posts and see what sticks.

I'm not really sure where I'm going with this, but I did notice that you've posted recently (just 2 days ago) and are likely in the same boat as me (looking for the Electrical Engineering community on Lemmy). Its probably best if we kept in touch and tried to coordinate where to post.


I've been using https://search-lemmy.com and using various keywords to try to find posts like yours and active communities around. In case you also want to randomly search / look for other discussions. I'm not doing much magic myself, just searching and talking where I show up.

Thanks for replying, I do want the community to move away from centralised platforms especially when the alternatives are very good and doable. I’ve just joined the microcontroller community you mentioned. I’m not sure if this place[s] will be as successful as redit but I’m here to stay
