My guess is just that interest has been lost. The admin at pornlemmy.com is even trying to sell it off to someone.
Yes, I've seen that one
Sell??? Is a Lemmy instance actually profitable?
They’ve actually put some of their own custom code and stuff into it, but no I don’t think it would be worth buying it. Using another UI achieves all of the tweaks they created.
That's not great for user privacy - having a database of people's kinks up for sale is not a headline that will help the Lemmy project. Hopefully everyone's sensible enough to have anonymous alt accounts for their embarrassing Lemmy usage.
