We have done before, but don’t do that often, so we don’t bother users too much. But we might do again soon, and maybe do a monthly post on the mastodons/sharkeys etc

Sending e-mail to info at lemmy dot world would be the best option. The team will pick that up.

(By the way: 2 EUR per year would be enough if every active user would donate that but they don’t)

For lemmy.world / mastodon.world including some of the smaller instances we host, it’s like 0,06 euro per active user per month. If every active user would pay 2 Euro per year that would be enough to cover hosting costs. If every active user would pay 1 euro per month, I could quit my dayjob and focus on the Fediverse fulltime.

(Sidenote: Stux and I created the non-profit Fedihosting Foundation which owns lemmy.world … but finances are still separate for his and my instances)

Nice

Test

The server is in Finland, actually. I am in The Netherlands, so is the non-profit foundation owning LW.

For me the faster VACUUM would be reason enough to migrate :-) But I think overall it’s best to keep up-to-date and a few minutes downtime is worth it.

I’ll try to install the BookFace UI on friendica.world. Also I’ve started a Friendica manual at https://help.friendica.onl/ but it needs to get content.

How so?

Thanks, I sent them an e-mail.

Too bad fire.fish is also gone…

Very cool!!

It’s created by @dansup@mastodon.social who also created Pixelfed

Probably some bored kids.

It’s run by the people that are making Lemmy. They’re very busy improving the code, which we already benefit from on our server, but I understand they don’t also have the time to update lemmy.ml with every change in code. I think a lot will improve as soon as 0.18.1 is released and am sure they will update lemmy.ml as well.

Me too…

Or .world! Sounds very general too ;-) You could even setup a general Mastodon server on a .world, betcha it would work!

Either do a pg_dump or stop the database and make a full copy.

The pg_dump won’t require downtime but will take longer to restore.

I use this command for the pg_dump

docker exec lemmy_postgres_1 pg_dump -Fc -U lemmy lemmy > /opt/lemmy/backup/lemmy_db_`date +%Y%m%d`.dump

Your mail address is only stored in the database, to which no-one but me has access, and it shows in your Settings page when logged in. So unless there’s a security flaw in Lemmy, your mail address should be safe.
