I can recommend Embedded - a couple of firmware engineers with a guest
and The Amp Hour which is host/guest in electrical engineering. If you know the EEVblog, Dave is a co-host but only appears when there's no guest.
sneezy
Did the admin say anything or just pulled the plug and vanished?
Time sure flies when you're having fun!
My favourite is "you only need better lock than your neighbour"
Lemm.ee is omnipresent
Yup, like Elle said, you can request a community be made on another instance so you don't need to make a separate account
Pull the plug. Unless you're on laptop, in that case you gotta wait a few hours.
I'm sating it because for example mastodon doesn't do even that. Afaik, it only sorts chronologically.
You don't need to make account on other instances. The whole point of fediverse is that the instances are all interconnected. You can talk to people from anywhere and post anywhere too, and it will propagate to all the other instances. Like your account is on programming.dev, this post is hosted on lemmy.world, and I'm on lemm.ee, see? It's all interwoven together, that's the main strength of it. So you can have communities (sub alternatives) all over. Some will be doubled (like most instances have Main) but you can always see where it's hosted to know which is which. (sorry if I'm over-explaining it)
That means if you want to make a community about, for example, 6502 assembly, you make it where you are, and people who are interested in the topic will come and discuss, no matter where their accounts are hosted. It would make sense to have a 6502 assembly community on programming-focused instance but it's not mandatory. If I were to make a 6502 assembly community, I'd make an account on programming.dev and create the community there for consistency. And give my main account mod status.
I don't know if this is the "right" way to go about it but it makes sense to me. I'm happy to be corrected.
Note that beehaw defederated from lemmy.world and shitjustworks. Here's a post talking about it.

Nope, you can sort by Hot/Top/Active, and also by time.
Seriously, fuck IBM for paywalling a source code.
