It appears the lemmynsfw is gone.
There were only two people involved with the server, and only one of them had the keys and even the most basic information about the hosting. That person has been MIA since October.
Given that only a single person had any access and knowledge of the infrastructure means that this was inevitable.
Upvoting with my comment too. This is the third time this has happened with a major site. I mean, yeah, nice to have a thing, but not so nice for it to go dark overnight
This isn't a problem federation is supposed to solve, what are you two talking about?
I feel like there should be a way to enable instances to be forked in the event that something happens to it.
