A couple of weeks have passed, the dust seems to have settled but there are a few important questions remaining. These give a little concern for the future.

Is there more than one admin able to update the instance?

Does someone other than Tom have access to the server in case it goes down or has a problem?

Are backups being taken and if so does more than one person have access to them?

Nothing seems to have happened since then. It’s gone quiet on Matrix as well.

I still don't know what that thing was...

Oh I see, have a look down the community for details. There’s lots of posts.

Very briefly, the sole admin went missing for several months. We were defederated and a plan was hatched to start a new instance. Then the sole admin re-appeared for a brief period and made two others admins.

But they don’t have access to the servers and can’t update the instance and sort out issues like the verification email problem.

So there was going to be a deadline for the old admin to sort stuff out. It needs to be soon as a new version of Lemmy is due which will cut off PWA clients if we don’t upgrade.

Well that's a bit shit.

I've just registered lemmit.uk for a year just in case it comes in handy. Happy to hand it over to anyone who wants to take on the responsibility of maintaining an instance properly.
