I've noticed today that [email protected] hasn't had any new posts or comments for about a day now.

However when I go to https://lemmy.world/c/world in the browser there's way more activity.

Yup. We might want to start thinking of setting up a new instance with multiple admins and try and migrate as many communities from here over to it as we can and keep the user base.

I'd offer to set one up but I don't have the time to set one up or maintain it.

Yeah, it's tricky to know when to pull the trigger as Tom may spring into action any time.

I think step one would be to rummage together a few people who would volunteer to Admin this instance if we can raise Tom, so he can slot them in if/when he reappears. That would mean we can get refederated and everything starts ticking along.

I've run my own website and know PHP/MySQL but Rust is something I've not looked into. However, updating and doing admin stuff might be relatively straightforward. I don't know. I'm also unreliable, so it couldn't just be me volunteering.

Are you knowledgeable enough to volunteer as an admin here? I imagine duties are light and if we can get a few people onboard it shouldn't be too bad

Exactly yeah. We don't want to act too soon, but also leaving it too late could mean the instance gets defederated by other big instances and people leave for other instances.

To be honest I don't know what's involved. I'd need to look into how hosting works and what's involved in things like upgrades. I'm a software engineer (dotnet C#, AWS mostly) so it wouldn't be alien to me and I might be able to help out on a temporary basis but I can't really commit to anything due to time.

Given my level of technical knowledge, I can confidently say that I am unable to offer support in any way.

But I'll second that this is a great instance -- one which I've really enjoyed seeing grow and begin to pick up steam -- and anyone able to step up has my gratitude.
