The federated ecosystem for link aggregators and discussion platforms is increasing and maybe starting your own community based on one of them is an idea to keep in mind. If I can toot my own horn in this regard, I'm working on such an alternative based on Go. The example instance I have up at the moment is a general purpose one, but you can easily create a your own. You can find it at https://littr.me https://littr.me If you want to take a look at the code, there's some links in my bio. The advantages of federated services is that you can keep your community small and tightly focused (like you said, dedicated to SysOps) but at the same time your users can subscribe to other instances and participate there through the federation mechanism.
