Long-awaited Introduction

Good day folks,

Figured it was about time we finally got around to this, now that things have settled down a bit personally on the home front. Meant to do this about 2 4 weeks ago, but the world opted to go to hell in a handbasket around the same time. I know at least a few of us from the r/homelab mod team got rather rapidly busy shifting things around for working from home and a few many late nights were had.

After a rather herculean effort by u/Cosmic_Failure, u/macx333 and u/upcboy of clearing the ~3500 items in the mod queue, going back a couple of years, I think we've got things relatively cleaned up and moving again around here. So with that being said, we'd like to ask

Since it's been brought up in discord, and reddit opted not to give us a way to opt out of this mess, about all I've got power to do is post this announcement.

Any of you using the redesign site seeing a banner for a new chat feature that looks like it's an official part of this subreddit, BE AWARE, this is a new feature reddit has opted many subs into without our consent and with no warning that it was coming.

Some fun facts about it:

  • The groups are for up to 8 users, but there is no restriction on who can join these or what they can do inside the channel.
  • It is unmoderated at present (and will remain so, we have a Discord and great discord mods and bots who keep it going)
