The owner should pass the torch rather than let it die.
The owner vanished and the other Admins miss the ssh keys to be able to migrate it. Also feddit.de had a partially fried database after a disk ran out of space
Seriously, what's up with owners vanishing? Kbin.social, Kbin.run, feddit.de?
Not even a message saying something like "this project is taking up too much of my time, bye everyone."
Well, my experience is running a large lemmy server is pretty annoying and takes a lot of time to actually turn into a social media site with people instead of just bots and you don't see any improvement for long times. I think after the reddit thing happened technical minded people were able to quickly launch this software but it isn't what you expect and you eventually stop logging in.
