I think the problem is that we have only one admin, /u/SDF@lemmy.sdf.org , and they aren’t very active here. Their last post was 4 months ago.
I have no idea who has access to install software updates. Maybe also just @SDF?
Maybe it’s time to take applications to expand the roster? I assume @SDF has many other things in their life, and generally speaking, having only one person who can manage a service is just asking for extended downtime.
I could be wrong but I think this is a general issue within the SDF. It’s an incredible organization and I value my membership in it very highly but I wish it were easier to pitch in and volunteer to make things better.
Ah well, we live in an imperfect world. I’m grateful for them in any case! :)
So I take it they never responded to your volunteer application?
Not as of yesterday, no.
And that’s fine, I certainly have no shortage of things to occupy my time, I’d just hoped to be able to help make the SDF even more awesome :)
I’m giving up on this Lemmy FWIW. I signed up over at lemmy.ml
It feels pretty terrible when it feels like you have to literally beg people to let you help them. So, if you’re ready to just move on, by all means. But, by any chance, did you post to Requests on BBOARD saying that you are interested in volunteering and that you sent an application by email but never got a response? It might be worth a try if you still have some action points to spare.
I just want to say, in any case, thanks for trying. This random stranger really appreciates it.
Is /u/SDF@lemmy.sdf.org (/u/SDF@lemmy.sdf.org) the correct way to ping or is it @SDF@lemmy.sdf.org (@SDF@lemmy.sdf.org)? I’m not sure I’ve ever successfully pinged before.
