Well, it’s been fun all, but this little VM has not had enough power to drive this Lemmy instance, and our daily users appear to be me and maybe one other person.
I’ve migrated my own subscriptions using the lemmy_migrate script to a new account on usenet.lol(It’s a Lemmy instance with an ironic domain), it runs on my own server and has much more horsepower. Given that a lot of people made accounts here but never used them, I’m not intending to open it to registration, but perhaps I will if demand is there.
Feel free to use that script I linked, it works well, and you can move to another Lemmy account on another server. Please leave a comment or reach out to me on Mastodon at @nicolas@social.lol if you’d like to join usenet.lol.

Thank you for heads-up, and thank you for keeping the server up these past couple of months. I enjoyed being part of a small instance, it allowed me to watch the drama on the bigger ones from the sidelines.

Agreed, I like the smaller instances for that reason. Sad to see you go, but understand why.

You’re more than welcome to join Usenet.lol if you would like.

My new instance is on hardware owned by me and is Usenet.lol, you can join that if you want. I’m just taking down the public instance as I’d have to upgrade it to make it work well, but few people appear to be using it.
