I'd like for the r/rust community to completely migrate to lemmy, and for the r/rust moderators to become moderators of the chosen lemmy instance.
I don't care which instance it will be, although I do like the idea of the Rust community being fully self-sufficient and self-governed by hosting our own instance (but still being interoperable with others). The main downside seems to be that people who are active in multiple communities will need multiple accounts, and creating an account requires
And if you use a mobile app as well as the web app, you need to login twice after the account was approved.
On another note: The lemmyrs.org instance currently has several "communities", which are more like categories. They might be a substitute for Reddit flairs, which should allow people to filter what they see on their Reddit homepage. However, Lemmy doesn't support flairs, and on r/rust they weren't actually used that much. Most people didn't set a flair when posting something, which kind of defeated the purpose. I think we should come up with a proper solution for this at some point.
Actually you don't need multiple accounts, you only need one in a specific instance and can interact with other instances (My account is registered at programming.dev).
The UX is extremely wonky and I had to look it up, but you can go to the search in the top right of your instance's main page (not the "communities" subpage) and search for communities and filter by "Communities" in the top left
