the sdf does have a help desk and chat rooms where you can reach the people who maintain the system

I'm not familiar with any of them. IMO they should have a place here for it.

Transfer Lemmy settings from one account to another https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim - took some time for the new account to add all the blocks.

A lot of things seem to be broken right now, and /u/SDF has been away for months.

Blocks and subscriptions aren't working https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/5513086 And lemmy.sdf.org is no longer listed here https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances

I guess I'll check back in a few months to see how things are going. But for now I'll use other instances.

For anyone who chose this instance due to the low "blocked by & blocked instances" (see github link above), futurology.today https://futurology.today/ has low blocks too, but no old UI https://old.lemmy.sdf.org.

Blocks and subscriptions aren't working either. I click the buttons and nothing happens.

Blocks are working on the non-old UI, but subscriptions are still on "subscribe pending".
