I've been told that keeping a lemmy instance healthy is a chore. I love SDF, but I don't think as an organization, there's quite as active administration or monitoring of this instance as would be ideal.

I've not yet jumped ship, because I honestly have a million other things I could be doing than surfing lemmy.

Last few outages they commented on BBOARD that the server hardware has some issues (insufficient storage space, faulty fans) and the funding allocated to Lemmy is running short. I've asked for a break-down of the upgrade/replacement costs and for some understanding of how membership fees (for ARPAs and MetaARPAs) get allocated into the various services, not heard back yet. My one wish is that someone on the admin side would provide updates on Lemmy about Lemmy affairs, I'm not too sure how often the Lemmy userbase checks BBOARD for news. I'd hope that with some better communication on the issues faced they could get some more support.
