lemmy.click meta discussion

I'll be permanently shutting down lemmy.click on Tuesday 11th July 2023.

Any users still here should sign up elsewhere.

This may be of use to migrate your settings to a new instance.

I'll be shutting down lemmy.click, I don't know exactly when. The database continues to grow, and I'm not going to upgrade the VPS any further. I'll leave it running until the disk fills, which I expect to be in the next few weeks:

I suggest everyone interested in continuing to use Lemmy find an alternate instance to call home. There are many more to choose from since lemmy.click was created.

I apologise for the inconvenience, lemmy.click was within the first 100 Lemmy instances. At the time I spun it up, growth was much slower.

Hi :)

Since yesterday, I cannot see posts created by me, in neither view nor search. The posts still exist, but they aren't shown to me.

Today, I also noticed the two local communities on lemmy.click apparently have 0 posts.

Not sure if these phenomena are connected. Does anybody else experience the same? Does anybody know what's going on?

Hi all, I'm sure you've probably seen that Beehaw (my current home) has decided to defederate from half of Lemmy. I'm actually fine with that, more power to them, but it's not my personal preference so I'm looking for a new chiller home.

Since attitudes to moderation and when / if you'll defederate are basically the main thing differentiating servers at the moment, I wanted to ask what your plans are in that regard?

Just trying to avoid setting up all my subscriptions again on a new instance only to get into the exact same situation, I'm sure you understand! :D

Hello, fellow clicks!

Since I migrated from reddit a few days ago (here to stay), I tried to find and subscribe to communities of interest. Sometimes it works, but more often it does not.

I try to

1. find the community using the built in search function: "space"
2. force-find the community by changing the query to: "[email protected]" or "[email protected]"
3. manually construct the URL: https://lemmy.click/c/[email protected]

Neither works currently for this community, although it exists: https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]

Am I doing something wrong? Has this worked before all the reddit refugees came, Is it a temporary issue?

Will image hosting always be disabled on this instance, or is it just a temporary measure? If we make a post in a community on another instance do images get put on that instance or this one?

If so, cool
