What could be the consensus for an "open source" or "free software" community that is not lemmy.ml nor lemmy.world?

Basically, title. I'll list the existing options in the comments, feel free to discuss each of them there

unmoderated

instance is still on 0.19.3, no news about updating yet
- Oh I didn't realize it was unmoderated. I would prefer this one ~~if we could~~ but it would be nice to find people to moderate it.
  
  Admin moderation would likely be ok for this community since I don't expect a high workload, but it's not ideal
  
  Finding moderators might be the biggest challenge

- Interesting, but the issue is beehaw is that they defederated both lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, so around 20k monthly active users out of the 50k of Lemmy: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/
  
  Well there's also their adventure of deciding whether they want to stay on the fediverse or do their own thing. I haven't seen anything on that from them recently, but last I saw (early this year) was that they were certainly thinking about leaving.
  
  Oh
  
  Which should be fine if you're not a user on Beehaw, no? It's still the largest community.
