Hi folks,
as some of you know, I‘m very busy and always on the hunt for new and interesting projects which makes regular efforts to keep regular schedules a bit hard.
Thats why this is pretty much the first real update since the inception of this instance.
So far I have learned that maintaining a lemmy instance isnt too hard but updating it is quite a lot of effort.
We are currently on 0.19.3 so we should be good in terms of federation bugs of the previous 0.19 versions. We have defederated threads.net and this is non negotiable. I made this instance to get away from megacorps and I‘m not going back. The amount of content will be insane and I have neither the time nor the money to receive it.
The instance is backed up daily so our posts should be fine, no guarantees though as lemmy is nowhere near release (the version number 0.19.3 should tell you that). Its the same in every instance but I choose to be transparent about it.
If you want to join the instance or support my work, check out my patreon on https://patreon.com/haui111. The server this runs on costs money every month and I‘m regularly donating to the lemmy devs myself so by supporting me, you support lemmy as well. If you want alternative paying solutions like liberapay, lmk.
I will try to make some more update posts in the future. Thanks for reading and have a nice day.
