lemmyf.uk shutting down

lemmyf.uk INSTANCE SHUTTING DOWN - lemmyf.uk

The last day this Lemmy instance will be running will be November 12th. To transfer your settings elsewhere use the import/export features built in to your profile settings.

Sad to see them go, but all the best to the admin!

What happened?
- Seems like the instance owner got burned out, happens sadly
  
  I would really love an official way to transfer ownership of a server. I suppose as long as the domain can transfer and the docker volumes are zipped up it could be migrated anywhere
- My excitement for all of this has disappeared. I don’t want to put any more money into it. I’ll still be around on a different account that I had before I launched my own.
I don't think I've ever seen that instance handle anywhere.
- Their most famous community was !sexmemes@lemmyf.uk (NSFW)
  
  Hm, not sure the upvotes federated properly here.
- When I first launched it, I planned on doing a porn instance, kind of like lemmynsfw did. A lot of instances prematurely blocked mine. I reached out to a lot of them in the beginning and they cleared me from it.
  
  Thanks for the great memes! And contributing to the Fediverse
Yeah, definitely.

I hope @willya@lemmyf.uk sticks around on another instance.
Thanks @blaze@feddit.org, you’re one I enjoy seeing all around here.

They will be missed! As this is part of the current trend in the dwindling number of Lemmy instances.
- no! Have we already reached peak lemmy?
  
  Monthly Active Users (MAU) is probably the best metric for the health of Lemmy. A lot of these instances that are shutting down may be single-user instances or ones that people spun up just to mess about with them.
  
  However, please donate to your instance if you can, it doesn't have to be much :)
Best wishes, and thanks for all the memes!
No explanation why?
