If Tom doesn't sort this soon this is likely the deathknell of this instance.
Yup. We might want to start thinking of setting up a new instance with multiple admins and try and migrate as many communities from here over to it as we can and keep the user base.
I'd offer to set one up but I don't have the time to set one up or maintain it.
Yeah, it's tricky to know when to pull the trigger as Tom may spring into action any time.
I think step one would be to rummage together a few people who would volunteer to Admin this instance if we can raise Tom, so he can slot them in if/when he reappears. That would mean we can get refederated and everything starts ticking along.
I've run my own website and know PHP/MySQL but Rust is something I've not looked into. However, updating and doing admin stuff might be relatively straightforward. I don't know. I'm also unreliable, so it couldn't just be me volunteering.
Are you knowledgeable enough to volunteer as an admin here? I imagine duties are light and if we can get a few people onboard it shouldn't be too bad
Personally, I gave up when he hadn’t replied to an email I sent a month earlier.
If you look over on the Matrix space then it looks like they are finalising a name for the new instance.
Yeah the plan is:
We're on the fall-back Matrix channel discussing it. So one way or another, we will sort it out. The tricky thing is when to pull the trigger. I was hoping the new update would make Tom resurface but that hasn't happened and we have the looming 0.19 upgrade that could start causing problems.
