The goal of the community seems slightly different. And also the community name itself.

Oh, I did not know about this. What a horrible name, in my opinion… I will keep !wheretopost@lemmy.world as I think it has the better community name.

100% agree that this would be a nice job for AI. I have no idea how to do that though. If anyone wants to create a Bot that does this, please do so and let me know! I will do whatever I need to do on my end, if anything, to allow it on WhereToPost.

- Comment on Slrpnk.net outage 2 weeks ago:
We have been very transparent about that and documented that in the wiki which is linked in the sidebar. But it seems few people ever read the Wiki and having it integrated like it is with Piefed would probably help.
Oh ya. I knew about that, and I am fine with that. Though I think having it behind a link is bad UI. People will not read it haha… It should be presented on account creation, in my opinion. Just 1 sentence “This instance is ran on private hardware and may suffer some down time here and there” would suffice.

Well, I got no reply and I didn’t see anyone else in the “mods:” bit in the bottom of the sidebar on slrpnk.net. I understand that having more admins wouldn’t help in this specific case, but it would help in others.
Regardless, having a public lemmy instance only ran by 1 person is, in my opinion, a bad practice. And please know that I am not personally attacking you. I am just stating my thoughts. This time you were out on a work deployment. Next time you could be sick. The next time maybe a family member had an emergency and you had to help. And the next time maybe your house caught fire or whatever.
Resilience and redundancy is extremely important in public lemmy instances. And SolarPunk is, in my opinion, all about community. There should be more (trustworthy) people with the same level of access as you do.
But again, shit happens. Hopefully this serves as a learning event. If not, so much shit is going through the world, losing a lemmy instance is not something about which one should lose sleep.

I am a slrpnk user. Oh well, shit happens. What makes me a bit sad was that a few months (?) ago something happened. Slrpnk.net was down for a a day or two? Don’t remember. What I do remember is asking if there was intention of adding a second admin and that it would be good to create that sort of redundancy. I was ignored.
Mid of july is basically 1 and a half months from now. Hopefully a new solarpunk instance emerges, one that is safer from such scenarios.
Enjoy your vacation and don’t stress too much! Shit happens.

I hope you are doing better OP!
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 4 months ago:
I think people who claim that the UI/UX is fine are missing the point. It is fine to you, but it is not fine to whomever made the claim. And for every person that makes such claim, there are hundreds/thousands who think/feel the same but don’t say anything.
Lemmy, as a community and as a project, should seriously listen more to the opinion of newcomers.
