The lemmy.ml instance has some controversies regarding its maintainers, which may have an impact on adopters. programming.dev seems safer for now, for programming communities; I just hope that it's a well-maintained instance.

👋 I hope this will take off

👋 I can help with moderating this community if needed: https://programming.dev/c/scala

I can't make it a long-term engagement, but at least until it gets off the ground.
