Hello, connoisseurs of the Wasteland!
This community was originally started on feddit.de and we were able to get almost 1.000 subscribers! Sadly, the administrators of that instance don’t seem to care about it anymore - its webinterface has been down for two months and all of the images have vanished.
Since there is no Lemmy feature to transfer a community to another instance (currently), I have made the sad decision to abandon the old community and create it anew here on discuss.tchncs.de - the people here seem to have things under control and maintain their instance much better.
I have reposted the most upvoted posts from the old community and will probably do some more reposts to showcase the art now lost on the failing old instance. But there will also be more content! 🥰 Please feel free to contribute art by yourselves, too.
Have fun. -lichtmetzger
Sad to see feddit.de being left to rot
Not gonna lie, it made me pretty angry. The main administrator is supposedly on some trip abroad, but there is no communication at all. That information was shared in a Matrix chat nobody knew about.
And instead of transferring the instance to other people with more spare time, they just leave it sitting there, half-broken. The image host also went down, which basically removed 95% of the content on the old community. :(
I hope tchns handles their instance better, but you can’t handle it much worse, honestly.
I have now reuploaded 99 of the most upvoted posts from the old instance. (Sorry for that, tchncs, I usually don’t post this much, I swear.)
The rest of the art had very little upvotes, mostly due to the fact that feddit was barely federating for a while and a lot of people didn’t even see them. These images might slowly reappear in the coming months. :-)
Thoughts and prayers. [*]
