It seems that the dev burned out.

This project has been discontinued and the repo archived. I am done with Lemmy, the Fediverse as a whole, and have no desire to continue developing for the platform or (especially) the demographic thereof.

Wow, what the heck happened? Do we know the dev's lemmy username for any clues?

Apparently, reading the details on there - he might not shut it down.

You might have read it in reverse? He started by asking for help from additional admins, then switched to wanting to shut it down and just be done with the Fediverse completely.

If he comes back, it will be on Beehaw or some such.

He had changed his position after I wrote that comment I believe.

The edits may be confusing but the changed part was put above rather than below:

Original plea below, though it's superseded by the above.

So while below one of the horizontal line separators he asks for help (then crosses out that text), above he adds:

This instance is shutting down for good on 7/31/2025.
