Lol I forgot to deploy it, should now be fixed

Done

The website going down seems to be due to load (though CPU and RAM levels are fine so not sure what’s going on), I’ve updated to 0.18.3 and will keep monitoring the site

Yeh it is a single admin instance, I’m going to look to add a few more admins this week as we really should have more than one

Sorry I’ve been really busy the last few weeks you should be verified now lmk if you’re not

Sorry I’ve been really busy the last few weeks they should be verified now

Hey, appreciate the reminder but the donation is on the sidebar on the instance and the link in the description doesn’t work (its url is to the post itself). We’ve been getting a steady of donations for the server so gonna remove this for now (I agree with other posters, that link could be anything)

Yeh fixed and fixed the issue where updating broke it so that shouldn’t happen anymore

Addressed it here https://feddit.uk/post/455317

Haha yeh i did there was around 3k bots accounts which I found and purged hadn’t liked or subscribed to any communities and their email was a distinct pattern

Was always a lurker on Reddit, now I’m an instance admin lol so I sort of have to comment and post often.

It feels way more a community on Lemmy though so I’m much more active than I ever was on Reddit I love it!

Blocked instances can be found here https://feddit.uk/instances

The one blocked atm is https://burggit.moe/

After a second thought, I’ll keep the blocklist free of political instances, even though most I personally disagree with. In terms of any large ones which are grey areas of legality (loli and stuff like that), yeh I’m protecting my own back by blocking them.

That does mean the blocklist is only 1 atm, I’ll keep an eye on what other big instances are blocked by other instances and keep the blocklist updated by doing that. Realistically a lot of the ones I would want to block will be so small I wouldn’t notice them so that list will be kept fairly thin I imagine. (I’m not gonna be like beehaw or even feddit.de who have fairly large blocklists)

I get the frustration of having stuff blocked which might feel restrictive, so I’ll try and keep the blocklist as small as possible but I do still think some should be blocked.
