yeah but I can't post there because I don't know anyone with an account and frankly CBA traipsing around looking for someone who has an account.

does seem like more things will have to go this way though

+1, if anyone wants to help me I'd be honored. mail me at ramon(@)odeva(.)nl

I actually hung out in their IRC for a while hoping to maybe form a social connection and then get an invite, but somehow it just never materialized, and the chat wasn't engaging, so I stopped coming back...

> it seems to scale well

This seems hard to say without knowing how large it is. To me, it seems like a relatively small community, far smaller than HN anyway.

You can see how large it is at https://lobste.rs/stats

Maybe you have to be logged in to see that? Because I don't have a login and all it shows me is a bunch of "no data".

It shows "No data" for each of the 5 metrics though?
