In theory I guess. But you'd need a ton of funding just to get the server power for that, and there's no guarantee that users will switch over to your service. And if Bluesky starts turning bad then they could start blocking your instance. Also the users are much more valuable than the data. There's lots of ways this could fail to pan out. The Fediverse is much more flexible to new instances joining.

maybe it would be simple to fork this source code and form your own community

The network effect makes this extremely difficult, even with the source code, it's basically starting from scratch again.

I've probably played this game for over a hundred hours. Great soundtrack too, by Alexander Brandon. I also loved the minigame hidden behind the DESTRUCT cheat code.

And it's open source too!

The combination of the Famicon and NES versions of the soundtrack gives a lot of depth and it sounds amazing

After almost 26 years, We Are the Music Makers forum is going offline (forum.watmm.com)

https://forum.watmm.com/topic/105431-rip-to-watmm-discussion-thread/#comments

After almost 26 years, I think it's time for WATMM to go offline - the artists we follow aren't releasing as much music as they used to, and overall there has been a decline in new users/activity.

The site supports itself financially via the Google AdSense ads and those who subscribe (and renew), but the vast majority of users are participating at no cost, which I had planned on enforcing at some point but simply haven't had the time or initiative to do so.

Also, I am at the point in my life where even the minimal involvement I have in keeping the site running just isn't something I want to do anymore. I've got other interests and priorities that are my focus, and I want to have one less thing to worry about, even minimally.

I don't think it's realistic to sell or give the site to anyone, and frankly I wouldn't be comfortable with taking WATMM and doing something with it I didn't agree with. And yes, it probably could still run on "autopilot", but someone would still need to be the account holder/billing contact for Invision, AdSense, PayPal, etc.

I've turned off registrations, so nobody won't register and then find out the site is going offline.

As for when - I think ending it when it began on June 3rd would be a nice bookend.

Again, I really appreciate all your support and help over the years, and I hope you understand or at least can appreciate my decision, and ask that you continue to be respectful of the site and your fellow members.

Edit: I am not the OP

Most important features/fixes for Lemmy for new users? (programming.dev)
 

I'll start with this: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2318

Remotely open post, similar to remote follow

An easy way to open the current post in your home instance.

This would be in addition to the text

"You must log in or register to comment."

It would open the current post in your home instance. Similar to how remote follow opens the community in your home instance.

New users on Lemmy often click links and end up on a page that looks almost identical except the address bar says a different domain name, and they wonder why they aren't logged in anymore. I think this would be a pretty easy feature to implement.

Make sure to put thumbs up reactions so the devs know to prioritize them.
