I've noticed today that world@lemmy.world hasn't had any new posts or comments for about a day now.

However when I go to https://lemmy.world/c/world in the browser there's way more activity.

The post when on feddit.uk https://feddit.uk/post/2700378

Same post when on Lemmy.world https://lemmy.world/post/5717372?scrollToComments=true

Yup. We might want to start thinking of setting up a new instance with multiple admins and try and migrate as many communities from here over to it as we can and keep the user base.

I'd offer to set one up but I don't have the time to set one up or maintain it.

I think maybe the best action is to draw up plans for a new instance, in public on here.
That way, if Tom returns, the plans can be used to continue/help this instance.

If he doesn't, then eventually the plans can be used for a new instance.
It might be worth having a discord/mailing list or similar, not for the planning, but to give a location for discussions to happen if the instance vanished suddenly.

That's my thinking - I posted about it somewhere else in this thread.

If we can get volunteers to admin, then Tom only has to swoop in, promote them and we'll get refederated.

If the worst happens, we have admins in place to migrate to a new instance.

I started a feddit.uk Matrix space. It's handy to have in case the server goes down for whatever reason (lemmy.world started their Discord server because of all the DDoS attacks and now have a Matrix space).

Is that the same one we're on with a few others?

This is an different one as we clearly need a general space just in case.
