As already noted in the thread on our being defederated by lemmy.world, we are now refederated for the time-being. However, as noted by one of the l.w admins if there are any spamming issues we’ll be back out again and if the upgrades stop we will have trouble with federation (lemmy.one is still not on the latest version, while we are), so there is still a need to sort this out.

That’s good, but we need Tom to sort this ASAP.
Yes we do.
- Mex ( @Mex@feddit.uk ) English3•1 year ago
I assume we still havn’t heard form Tom?
I haven’t and no-one else has reported contact.

This kind of bullshit is why the fediverse will never become mainstream

Do we want it to become mainstream? I think there’s a balance of a healthy thriving community Vs one being too large and the quality drops.

A lot of people call it the reddit/twitter killer

I’d rather be better than Reddit than bigger than Reddit.

Well done to everyone who made this possible 🌠
We were pretty much at the mercy of the lemmy.world mods on this one.

If the admin has bailed on this place then it might be time to jump ship. It’s only a matter of time until they pull the plug.
The domain is fully paid up through to next year and there’s no reason to suspect that the hosting will stop any time soon.
We’ve contacted the Admin through a few routes and we are hoping that gets his attention. We can then put into place other Admins and make sure everything is financial secure and doesn’t just rely on one individual.

There is a recent change in Lemmy’s 0.19 release which would allow the import and export of user profile data, which in theory could allow easier migration between servers.
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3976
Hopefully we won’t have to resort to that. Also, it would require the admin to upgrade to Lemmy 0.19, which may not be guaranteed.

Instances becoming too big like lemmy.world has is a danger to the lemmyverse.

So has anyone managed to contact Tom yet?
My concern is that “Tom” was actually Michael Gambon - which is why we’ve not heard from him.
- Mex ( @Mex@feddit.uk ) English2•1 year ago
Does anyone know this “tom” is?
In real life? Not that I’m aware of, that’d make all this a lot easier.

Pretty sure he’s the MySpace guy
- 15liam20 ( @15liam20@feddit.uk ) 3•1 year ago
Oh really? I’ll get in touch with him then. He’s my friend.
