So it’s been five months since @tom@feddit.uk last posted and two months since he contacted @emperor@feddit.uk

It’s seems like nothing much has happened and the plans for a replacement were briefly resurrected then shutdown.

I guess we’ve all moved on.

    Yeah, the name is silly but as long as it’s a server with several admins and well looked after, I really don’t mind.

    From what I understand, Tom helped Emperor rescue Feddit at the last minute way back when. Tom hasn’t been heard or seen from since and seeing as he has sole access to the server upfront, we’re kind of stuck, especially as everyone else upgrades to 0.19.1.

      Same. I can live with quackhouse if it’s really the only choice, but I wonder if the last few months has set back UK lemmy for quite a while.

      I had thought that Tom had given Emperor all the details and we had >1 admin now?

      If Tom’s not interested anymore, then fair enough, but can’t the admins take on the server, it’s name, do upgrades, etc?

      I totally understand that it’s all about time and money to do this and I’m just another freeloading user on this instance, but this is a crazy situation to be in.

        From what I understand, the new admins only have limited web access to the server. Tom is the only one who can perform any software upgrades etc. So although we’re in a better position than last time, it’s still not good enough.
