Most posts and subscriptions to lemmy.ml don’t work from lemmy.world as well, in my experience. To clarify - they work, but no one at lemmy.ml sees your posts, and the subscriptions all permanently say ‘Subscribe Pending’.

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.

I feel like this post is basically saying "our hammer isn't a hammer because we put a really nice grip on it and it's being wielded by a very nice person". At the end of the day, it still drives a nail.

Just because there's a cultural difference doesn't mean it isn't the same type of social media tool. Simply call it a better form of Twitter and be done with it.

Prune juice, coffee, and any spicy foods.

If they absolutely refuse to allow you to share or email an individual vs. a distro group then I’d do it that way, but not using an “anyone with the link” share depending on the sensitivity of the information. If it’s something that isn’t as sensitive sure, but otherwise they’ll need to setup credentials with that distro group and use it to login to access the shared folder.

Usually in these kind of situations I fall back to sharing a OneDrive / Teams (SharePoint) folder out to the external vendor. Anyone can say that they can’t receive the encrypted email and there could be legitimately good reasons for that, but if they don’t know how to login to 365 to access a shared folder that’s on them.

FYI, I’m not going to remove this post or anything (and I agree as well), but it’s not likely to be seen by the right people here. /c/Sysadmin is just our community for discussing sysadmin things and I don’t know how much /u/Ruud or any Lemmy devs hang out here.

You might try cross-posting it to these communities:
!lemmy
!lemmyworld
!lemmy_support
!support

Of note, lemmy.ml is the server that is operated by the primary Lemmy devs.

DarraignTheSane OP , 1 year ago to sysadmin in Calling all /r/sysadmin reddit refugees!

I share your sentiment at this point. I saw a thread where the one Lemmy dev / admin was talking about how they will not use Cloudflare or other major CDNs for lemmy.ml, and that they host on some minor provider because of privacy concerns. They said they were focusing on optimizing the Lemmy code instead to make it more efficient.

While I understand that and those concerns aren’t wrong, and certainly the code should always be written to be more efficient… at some point it’s going to meet the reality of millions of ex-reddit users hitting them, and they seem wholly unprepared for that. /u/Ruud seems to know what they’re doing with lemmy.world and building it to be able to scale.

Even though I’ve created the /c/Sysadmin sub on a handful of the larger Lemmy servers now, I’m thinking that lemmy.world will be my main going forward.

Hey @ruud , thanks for chiming in here on /c/Sysadmin! I’ve been trying to figure out how to best manage the Sysadmin communities I’ve setup across different Lemmy servers, but it’s looking like lemmy.world might be my new home server since it appears to have the best uptime and stability. 😉
