Same same. I don't really have anything to post about Alpine atm, but I'm always open to a conversation about it. Someone could of course create a new community, but the Linux community on here seems small enough right now that people can just post about Alpine here if they'd like.
Yes. As long as communities aren't that large yet I think it is pointless to split so much.
Just post here.
I think so too, but of course people are free to do whatever they'd like
Are people using it also as desktop or server OS? I only know that it is popular for docket images.
I personally use it as a desktop.
I don't understand, isn't what makes it a desktop or a server what you want to do with it?
Alpine was created for the sole purpose of pissing off Stallman, it doesn't have any practical use.
That is the exact question I had on my mind when coming to this post.
It certainly makes great VMs - graphical or otherwise. I think some people use it as a super lightweight distro as well, though my attempt to install it on a less powerful PC failed (probably a firmware issue).
I mostly use it for VPS servers.

On top of that there's r/AlpineLinux on reddit, but it's unofficial, quite small and sees very low traffic
Yeah, I saw it too but since the reddit blackout was just curious how much went to lemmy instead
