It’s in the post:
We will likely relocate back to Asia in the future when a fix is available.

Nyaa.social may have been a bit too on the nose (IYKYK). And as you say, Ani.social is more straightforward, so it was a good pick in the end.
No worries on the transfer, but after reading this I am wondering does this mean you plan to migrate away from EU servers once the potential fix scheduled for 1.19.5 is implemented and verified as a fix? Or will you remain on the EU servers for the forseeable future?

I’m glad you think Ani.Social was the better pick!
For migrating away or remaining on the EU, I will likely migrate back to Asia. The biggest benefit is that it’s closer to me and I think having Lemmy in other regions is in line with the decentralization idea behind the Fediverse.
The servers are very cheap in the EU though. Also, most of our traffic is from EU/US. So there might also be a chance we stick around.

I was wondering about traffic and the regional breakdown. I had been guessing it was mostly EU/US based on the traffic I got to clips I post to the anime community using my own domain. Cloudflare just lists the top 5 countries:

However, I wasn’t sure if that might be influenced by the time of day I am posting them since I am on the East coast of the US.

This is what it looks like for us. I’m pretty sure most of these requests are from other instances.

That makes sense. I think a lot of the large instances have centralized in the EU/Finland due to world being there to avoid the exact issues that caused you to move. Also, instance <-> instance communication is probably way more requests than instance <-> user.
