Sad to see them go, but all the best to the admin!

Yeah, definitely.

I hope @willya@lemmyf.uk sticks around on another instance.

Alice@hilariouschaos.com on 06 Nov 15:28 next collapse

What happened?

Fitik@fedia.io on 06 Nov 16:58 next collapse

Seems like the instance owner got burned out, happens sadly

scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech on 06 Nov 19:37 collapse

I would really love an official way to transfer ownership of a server. I suppose as long as the domain can transfer and the docker volumes are zipped up it could be migrated anywhere

willya@lemmyf.uk on 07 Nov 00:47 next collapse

Yeah it can be. It’s as simple as that or a drive clone.

Emperor@feddit.uk on 08 Nov 02:48 collapse

We did it for feddit.uk, worked out fine - the main hassle was contacting the AWOL Admin. Then it was a matter of starting the transfer of the image files and going off to do something Interesting.

scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech on 08 Nov 04:22 collapse

Good, how is it going over there at feddit.uk? I forgot the last owner just kind of ghosted

Emperor@feddit.uk on 08 Nov 08:45 collapse

It’s all going well - everything is fully-funded and ticking along nicely.

scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech on 08 Nov 15:19 collapse

Good! I’d be sad to see you folks leave

willya@lemmyf.uk on 07 Nov 00:28 collapse

My excitement for all of this has disappeared. I don’t want to put any more money into it. I’ll still be around on a different account that I had before I launched my own.

DarkThoughts@fedia.io on 06 Nov 16:45 next collapse

I don't think I've ever seen that instance handle anywhere.

Blaze@feddit.org on 06 Nov 16:47 next collapse

Their most famous community was !sexmemes@lemmyf.uk (NSFW)

DarkThoughts@fedia.io on 06 Nov 16:58 collapse

Hm, not sure the upvotes federated properly here.

neoman4426@fedia.io on 06 Nov 17:07 collapse

Looks like any nsfw communities don't show up on fedia.io, viewing that community from that link that pulls up the mirror this site uses just shows it as empty for me. Same when checking any on like, lemmynsfw despite that being listed as federated.

==EDIT== Turns out I just had hide NSFW content on in the settings, I just assumed it would blur the thumbnails. When unchecking that it shows up

DarkThoughts@fedia.io on 06 Nov 18:12 collapse

Thumbnails are blurred by default in mbin but you can use something like KES to unblur them automatically.

When I first launched it, I planned on doing a porn instance, kind of like lemmynsfw did. A lot of instances prematurely blocked mine. I reached out to a lot of them in the beginning and they cleared me from it.

Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works on 07 Nov 00:59 collapse

Thanks for the great memes! And contributing to the Fediverse

henfredemars@infosec.pub on 06 Nov 17:07 next collapse

Best wishes, and thanks for all the memes!

Thanks @blaze@feddit.org, you’re one I enjoy seeing all around here.

They will be missed! As this is part of the current trend in the dwindling number of Lemmy instances.

glowing_hans@sopuli.xyz on 08 Nov 02:55 collapse

no! Have we already reached peak lemmy?

blackn1ght@feddit.uk on 08 Nov 09:09 collapse

Monthly Active Users (MAU) is probably the best metric for the health of Lemmy. A lot of these instances that are shutting down may be single-user instances or ones that people spun up just to mess about with them.

However, please donate to your instance if you can, it doesn’t have to be much :)

meldrik@lemmy.wtf on 07 Nov 17:14 collapse

No explanation why?
