    This is a cool idea but it needs some very strict moderation if you want to emulate Stack Overflow. Looking at it right now it doesn’t even seem to have questions posted to it, just generic programming posts.

    Currently registrations are closed, but I will open it up eventually to mods.

    Also I’ve been battling it out with nginx, so let me know if you see any issues!

    Can I ask why creating a new lemmy instance, rather than a new community. Instances are good for centralization, so, not a complain, however it imposes an additional account, :(

      The beauty of Lemmy is the federation!

      You can post on heapoverflow from lemmy.

      I want to add a feature to make it easier but for now you search for the url of the sub you want to post on like this

        ohh, wow, lemmy really needs to make that way easier, so subscribing and posting on other instances is made easier. I’m sure I won’t easily remember the right URL to get into the other instance community… Thanks a lot, I wasn’t aware of this way to access other instances communities…
