lemmyf.uk shutting down

lemmyf.uk INSTANCE SHUTTING DOWN - lemmyf.uk

The last day this Lemmy instance will be running will be November 12th. To transfer your settings elsewhere use the import/export features built in to your profile settings.

Sad to see them go, but all the best to the admin!

No explanation why?
They will be missed! As this is part of the current trend in the dwindling number of Lemmy instances.
- no! Have we already reached peak lemmy?
  
  Monthly Active Users (MAU) is probably the best metric for the health of Lemmy. A lot of these instances that are shutting down may be single-user instances or ones that people spun up just to mess about with them.
  
  However, please donate to your instance if you can, it doesn't have to be much :)
Thanks @[email protected], you’re one I enjoy seeing all around here.

What happened?
- My excitement for all of this has disappeared. I don’t want to put any more money into it. I’ll still be around on a different account that I had before I launched my own.
- Seems like the instance owner got burned out, happens sadly
  
  I would really love an official way to transfer ownership of a server. I suppose as long as the domain can transfer and the docker volumes are zipped up it could be migrated anywhere
I don't think I've ever seen that instance handle anywhere.
- Their most famous community was [email protected] (NSFW)
  
  Hm, not sure the upvotes federated properly here.
- When I first launched it, I planned on doing a porn instance, kind of like lemmynsfw did. A lot of instances prematurely blocked mine. I reached out to a lot of them in the beginning and they cleared me from it.
  
  Thanks for the great memes! And contributing to the Fediverse
Yeah, definitely.

I hope @[email protected] sticks around on another instance.
Best wishes, and thanks for all the memes!
