We suspect this may have to do with their older Lemmy version as we're noticing it on some other instances as well, but not .ml which is running the latest.
Good for them! I have said this before, but I would be more than happy to have a chat about providing hosting to M-A or at least offering them wiki.startrek.website (or whatever) assuming it's sustainable of course.
OP- you are not on StarTrek.website. You're on feddit.de. When you scroll /c/Risa you are scrolling a "copy" on feddit.de.
I assure you we are fully functional.
EDIT: FWIW I checked /c/Risa on feddit.de and thumbnails loaded fine ...maybe try clearing your browser cache?
We've been targeted too by what's probably a couple of script kiddies trying to brute force their way into our server. Not exactly a DDOS but a similar effect. Just had to remodulate the shields a few times.
Stories like this make me very happy to hear. When I heard the /r/StarTrek and Daystrom mods talking about joining Lemmy I'd thought bringing their reputation for positivity and tolerance to a Trek-themed instance could provide a familiar and comfortable jumping-off point for users unsure about the broader Fediverse.
Yes it was, BUT OUR TIME IS FINALLY NEAR πΆπΈ
The only perk we had in mind thus far was some user flair (whenever that inevitably gets invented). But you make a great point. Still getting used to this egalitarian perspective.
That's a good point I hadn't considered, appreciate the insight. As long as we can pay the bills with what comes in, I suppose for now we'll just stick with what we've got.
That depends! You can run an instance on an old PC for just yourself and some friends for next to nothing, but a bigger instance with lots of traffic can easily climb to hundreds per month or more. No idea where we'll end up when things slow down, but the subreddits this server represent currently have more users than the entire Lemmy-verse π
I did not realize there was an update, I just installed the latest on Saturday. Thank you this is great to know.
Also dang, nice job on scoring that username π
That's in the plans for the future for sure! (I'm the Admin for StarTrek.website)
Straight jump, no issues that I've noticed thus far.
