I started a “songwriting sprint”, and I think I got one or two usable tracks out of it. I’ve also been playing a new Minecraft survival world and reading a book.
Does anyone know the root cause of these frequent outages and if there’s anything we members can do to help out?
Last few outages they commented on BBOARD that the server hardware has some issues (insufficient storage space, faulty fans) and the funding allocated to Lemmy is running short.
I’ve asked for a break-down of the upgrade/replacement costs and for some understanding of how membership fees (for ARPAs and MetaARPAs) get allocated into the various services, not heard back yet.
My one wish is that someone on the admin side would provide updates on Lemmy about Lemmy affairs, I’m not too sure how often the Lemmy userbase checks BBOARD for news. I’d hope that with some better communication on the issues faced they could get some more support.
Let us know plx. Sometimes I wish the lemmy admin was not a ghost and could speak to us without a seancé, but it’s a pretty cool fact for picking up girls too.
I’ve been told that keeping a lemmy instance healthy is a chore. I love SDF, but I don’t think as an organization, there’s quite as active administration or monitoring of this instance as would be ideal.
I’ve not yet jumped ship, because I honestly have a million other things I could be doing than surfing lemmy.

Please post back when you get clarification. I would be happy to donate directly toward maintaining this instance.
Reply received. They’ve reiterated the need for more disk space and new fans, and have given the server model: HP DL360 Gen9.
Didn’t get anything about cost estimates or giving status updates on Lemmy directly.
