it's not official, also the mod here seems to be inactive. but it's the biggest homelab lemmy I could find on https://browse.feddit.de/
I don't know where all the people from r/homelab have gone. some other subreddit that have closed have flooded into lemmy but r/homelab doesn't seem to have done that.
A lot are on discord, but the mods are looking at an official Lemmy alternative. At the moment lemmy.ml is having significant issues so I'm not sure how that's impacting federation, but hopefully they improve their servers soon..
Personally I don't think Lemmy is really a great alternative in its current state especially with servers being able to defederate other servers, meaning that users registered on Beehaw for example can't now view communities hosted on lemmy.world which seems to entirely defeat the purpose to me..
What kind of issues is .lm having right now? Why not using lemmy.world?
Their instance is hugely overloaded, I think I saw somewhere where people were being encouraged not to register there for now (I mention that as this sub is on .ml). lemmy.world is certainly a more stable server, however users registered on beehaw now can't access it, this is a major issue I see with how Lemmy and de-federation is allowed, but also "homelab" is already registered there although not used, it would likely be my preference though and I have looked at it..
