The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out.

This suuuucks. We need another big, general instance that doesn't defed everyone. But I get it, being an admin sounds like a lot of work or I would do it lol. Plus I don't have place for a server around here. Or do most admins just buy space from the cloud?

im guessing competing with something like .world is pretty hard, since world has most of the content and admins, but they apparently blocked alot of communities, most of which sounds illegal or potentially illegal,but piracy is a wierd thing.

There are already instances that aren't eager to defederate to suit a few complainers.

They just need users.

Is yours one? I saw other people suggest Lemmy.zip, mander I think is one, and lemdr.oid or something like that.

The problem is that they tend to be smaller, which means harder to find.
