The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out.
That is sad to hear. Thanks for the all the work admins.

That’s depressing news, but I get it.
Any suggestions on alternative instances?

I was here for just a few days but thanks for providing the service

Only bad thing is it doesn't migrate your posts and comments. Thankfully it does migrate your saved posts!
It doesn't migrate any posts or comments.

I’ve noticed this a ton over the last two or three months. Lemmy has become so much more negative than it was when I joined. It’s a real bummer. I can’t even imagine trying to be a mod or an admin.
I mean if you're someone new and then inundated with terrible news every day because you're still getting the hang of moderating your feed by yourself, you're bound to carry negative attitude everywhere else.
reddit can, have been, and will continue to be angry right leaning, and here it's the opposite. I get it, there are matters worth being angry about. but surrounding yourself with it just makes it pointless

It's not just federated networks. It is anything with user interaction. Managing and moderating any sort of sizeable social media site is a lot harder than people think.
it's why I said no to a discord server that I am chronically online in. I don't remember what was the active user count back then, probably just 100. the admins offered a mod position because I'm a good boi. I know I'll get angry at the slightest thing. but i always managed to stop kyself from posting angrily off the cuff. I am not fit to moderate strangers, even if their familiar strangers. dunno how I'd do with a smidgen of power.
I couldn't imagine the stress of moderating even larger network

The original lemmy.ml
Unfortunately, I had to move my community from there after some admin started interfering with the content.
-
lemmy.zip would be my recommendation.
Interesting. What do you like about it?
-
What happens to the communities there? Is there a way for them to automatically migrate to another instance?
You have to migrate your community to a new instance, and notify the users about its new location. Old content from lemm.ee will remain accessible.

Now is a good time to check out PieFed.
It also has much better mod tools, so it will make life easier for mods

Shiiiit. What's the easiest way to migrate all my communities quickly???
Consider moving them to PieFed
It has powerful mod features that Lemmy does not

What are the issues with python if anyone knows? Is it a bigger issue with scaling up or will it get significantly slower as they add more features? People mention how its bad but they just assume people know why.

Yeah I was bored the other day and opened up a niche reddit community and I was just floored at how positive everyone was versus the same community here. But I digress I imagine it’s going to be phases and I’ll continue to try and be positive.
name the communities lol

Thanks for your time. Take care of yourselves.

Great admin team, public finances, reasonable rules, good defederation policy, data is hosted in the EU.
-
Can you think of any reason I'm not receiving a confirmation email when I register there?

Thank you for your hard work! Sorry I was being an ass time to time.

You can assume a roughly 10-100x slowdown on pretty much everything. It also does not feature type safety, so while it is easier to code in it it is also easier to make mistakes. Other than that... Just a simple scripting language

We use Python on the back end of a public-facing website with massive levels of traffic. There are some maintainability issues due to the dynamic nature of the language, duck typing can be tricky for similar reasons, but as long as devs are sensible and test things rigorously, performance is fine, and I'm reasonably sure we're operating at a scale at least a couple orders of magnitude larger than all Lemmy instances combined. Also, it's a mature, concise language with excellent libraries, so most non-exotic requirements can be met without too much difficulty.

They don't know why. I supect it's because nothing works right if you do it wrong.

Thanks, admins, your efforts and patience have been greatly appreciated.
