The bottom right is starting to be built up as a tech corner if any other tech related communities want to join into that (programming.dev, d2jam, toast.ooo, and sc07 currently). There should be a bunch of empty space for people to put stuff

Sites back. I reindexed every table although the only one that seemed to be affected by the issues was the comment table (it had duplicates I had to remove similar to what I did for the post and community tables before)

Site will slowly catch up in activities over the next couple hours so youll see posts, etc. that were made in the few hours it was down slowly come in

Issue should be fixed, messed around with the db a bit and seems to work now

If anyone still sees messages from the spammer in the comments let me know, federated removals are wonky sometimes

Current estimation is around 200 dollars a month. All these small sites im spinning up barely add anything since the usage is negligible compared to something like lemmy. The production server takes up most of the costs out of that amount and then sendgrid costs some

Donations cover ~ 41% of that currently

In terms of time its been taking up most of my free time to set all this up + help develop sublinks

Some trolls post csam which is why this is currently remove everything rather than handle afterwards since I would rather not let our users see csam. If you get a bit of activity in your account that handling goes away and usually ill restore the post a bit after if I see the automod has removed It but looks like you reposted

Fediseer tends to be what most people use to track and list this sort of thing (and its whats used for this instance)

https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/censured?page=1

A lot of blocks people have are of mastodon instances as well so if youre only interested in thread content that probably needs to be taken into account as well since mastodon instances tend to have more people than lemmy instances

sometime in the next couple weeks probably based on their last development update

Currently theres mostly just community requesting to create communities and community adoption so people can adopt a community if the owners and mods are gone (which I think should just be the way to handle abandoned communities)

For the gamedev community the main gamedev community gets all the gamedev posts while the others are intended to get crossposted into for people who want the separation until we get flairs (but theres been basically no gamedev discussion content in either) (children are news, showcase, discussion, and game design) I can try to get it more active

Note: I think most people in here arent going to click on a reddit link so you may get some more views if you link something like a youtube or piped link instead

You can also link directly to the reddit video using this url https://v.redd.it/o6md1vnuemcb1/DASH_1080.mp4?source=fallback (if you want to set that as the url you can edit the message (click on the three dots, then click edit if youre on web) and then put it into the url box instead of the reddit link)

Manually posting the threads for now again since lemmy v18 broke all my bots

There should be less things pinned in the instance soon, I just wanted to make this one pinned for a bit as the community request thread used to be pinned and this is the replacement. And the icon poll is something that we want as many opinions as possible of people from the instance as it affects everyone
