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.
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.
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.
Does anyone know this “tom” is?
That’s good, but we need Tom to sort this ASAP.
Yes we do.
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.
Instances becoming too big like lemmy.world has is a danger to the lemmyverse.
You post this on a neglected instance, ironically a good example on why it is important to make sure the instance you want to have an account or community on has enough active staff. Everyone can start an instance but keeping it up is no small feat.
