Hi all,
It’s been over a year and the folks hosting the XMPP Lemmy experiment at community.xmpp.net have asked us to start transitioning it to our own hosting.
I’m writing to see what the community would like to do, or if anyone wants to take over hosting? The instance was never very widely used, so I think we can probably shut it down safely as well without too much loss.
What do you think?
@sam I think now might be the perfect time to see if this instance could actually get some traction as there is a huge push for people to use Lemmy all the sudden. And also a bunch of new apps out that make it easier to use then ever.
That requires us to find someone to take over hosting and maintenance, which is what the post was about.
@sam Ah I see, may I ask what the hosting costs are looking like?
I’m not sure; same as anything else, I’d imagine: moderation and ops is probably the most time consuming, then if course the fiscal cost of the server and image hosting
