Sad to see them go, but all the best to the admin!
What happened?
Seems like the instance owner got burned out, happens sadly
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
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.
Good, how is it going over there at feddit.uk? I forgot the last owner just kind of ghosted
It’s all going well - everything is fully-funded and ticking along nicely.
Good! I’d be sad to see you folks leave
Yeah, definitely.
I hope @willya@lemmyf.uk sticks around on another instance.
They will be missed! As this is part of the current trend in the dwindling number of Lemmy instances.
no! Have we already reached peak lemmy?
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 :)
Best wishes, and thanks for all the memes!
No explanation why?
