Today marks the one year anniversary of our humble little instance. It’s been an eventful year but, despite fate’s best efforts, we’re still here. So go us! (or boo us if you think we suck)

Around a month now.
The admin is on workation in asia, and we haven’t heard of him in a month.
Ah, so he may be back but single Admin instances are a bad idea - I wouldn’t have done it without being part of a team, if nothing else, just so no one person is doing too much work. One of our key principles in taking over was to ensure it was set up to continue just fine if one of us got kidnapped by aliens (again).
Good luck with your ongoing struggle with the aliens.
Maybe you can find a piece truce with them?
I never said it was me…
I smell an interesting story.
Do you mind sharing more details?
But I never said it was me.
Although I have had a sleep paralysis attack that could have been interpreted as an alien abduction (or Satanic ritual abuse).
Why not both?
Damn those Satanic aliens!
All I know is, I woke up with a sore bottom.
Standard Sundays.
Ah yes, hypnosis/sleepwalking.
Ah interesting, I hadn’t heard that. Was there an official announcement?
I’m not sure, but it has been established in matrix chat rooms.
Are there public links to their matrix chat anywhere? Instances typically have them in the sidebar of their web interface, but in this case…
Yes, there are two rooms:
https://matrix.to/#/#feddit:tilde.fun is the matrix room for the feddit.de website.
https://matrix.to/#/!MLoBFkQORxrOwhtQoZ:tchncs.de is a room where we discuss about establishing a new, community-hosted lemmy server.
Oh, so you are thinking of moving on from feddit.de? We were in that same boat ourselves.
How did that turn out for you?
Well feddit.uk is celebrating it’s first birthday, which wasn’t looking like a certainty for a while. We were pretty much at the point of no-return when the original Admin gave us access to everything so we could move it off to a new server. Since then we secured the financial future of the Instance and everything is bobbing along just fine.
Oh, that’s cool. So you’re running it based on a cooperative or a nonprofit organization now? Same as we intend for feddit.de , just that our admin isn’t reachable, and therefore we can’t transfer data. We’d have to start anew. Also, we don’t know yet which new hostname to choose.
Thanks!
