Hey everyone,

I'm your local server godess. I usually sit in the background doing things, while my lovely partner @ada does her thing moderating the server, but I do pop in every now and then to let you know when important things happen like the server gets an upgrade etc.

So earlier today we were running a slightly old version of lemmy on the same hardware as the database server, which started causing problems as our instance has grown significantly over the last few days.

So tonight we're running a freshly upgraded lemmy 0.17.4, moved onto its own dedicated server instance.

Hopefully this should resolve the issues we were having and let me or Ada know if you notice any issues or glitches.

Also Ada has relented and setup a ko-fi donations page for those that want to donate AND can afford it.

We want to stress that we are running these instances to support our community, so the last thing we want is to add financial stress to the members of that community.

If you're privileged enough to be able to help with a donation without causing yourself financial stress, you're welcome to help cover some of the running costs. But if you're not, please do not feel any obligation to do so as that would undermine the goal behind creating these spaces in the first place. We'd rather keep covering the costs ourselves than pull funds away from the members of our community that need it.

Lots of love! Kaity (and Ada).
