I appreciate the effort in creating and maintaining this Lemmy instance. I don’t have any long-term involvement with or knowledge of FMHY beyond finding lemmy.fmhy.ml when I was leaving reddit, agreeing with the community values, and making an account. But I have appreciated this place as my portal to the fediverse, and there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.
As there have clearly been some issues in maintaining the instance, I think it would be extremely helpful if you were to create a simple blog to act as an out of band communication channel in the event that the Lemmy instance faces any further troubles. I understand you have divolt, but I have had trouble accessing it after initially joining, and in general it would be nice if there were a simple URL I could navigate to from any device with or without my credentials memorized/use of my password manager to see the status or any events that may impact the functionality of the FMHY Lemmy. If you have something of this nature set up already and I have missed it - that’s on me! But perhaps a stickied post pointing to it would help.
That’s just my two cents - and again, thank you for creating and maintaining this instance in the first place!
Ah, I thought you were suggesting another platform like Lemmy and Divolt. For announcements I’m thinking of adding a simple status page hosted on GH pages or on the server this is running on (but I’m waiting on the other staff members for their thoughts.) For wiki updates, Reddit still exists.
We started running an Uptime Kuma instance on M4D’s servers. I’ll post any status notices there.
Nice!
