- PINNED: Classic Blog Posts - Misc Thread
07/31/2023 It's been a couple weeks since FMHY went down and I'm going through link aggregator withdraw. Sounds like they're going to try to get everything restored but since it's going to be on a different domain even assuming they do so the original community will be gone anyway with everyone unsubscribed. Re-creating it here.
Find an issue or otherwise want to discuss the community itself? Want to share a meme? Please do so here instead that way the community feed can stick to blog posts only. Thanks
