TL;DR, Feddit.UK [http://Feddit.UK] is down, we’re working on making a fun
replacement! A number of days ago, feddit.uk [http://feddit.uk] had kicked the
bucket. The community on there had noticed months ago that the owner was
inactive. This was around September (Going off of memory). So they arranged to
set up a new community run by the same feddit.uk [http://feddit.uk] admins
(except the owner, the only one who had host access) which would replace it.
However, on the weekend as Quackhouse was going to be launched, the owner
responded to an email and made two users admins. Emperor and GreatAlbatross.
However, they did not have access to the console, just lemmy adminship. Ever
since, the owner has been AWOL. The community were too afraid to go back to
setting up Quackhouse incase the owner showed up again. Unfortunately, that
wariness and being afraid led to the worst case scenario happening - Feddit.uk
[http://Feddit.uk] has dropped offline. We believe the instance has reached some
form of file size cap. It was basically an aeroplane flying with dead pilots
before then. And it appears that aeroplane has crashed. If you are from the
feddit.uk [http://feddit.uk] refugee base, please join the new community
whenever it is ready. Do not sign up now. We are busy and still setting up and
don’t want an influx of new users just yet. For now, sit tight. I’ll update this
post whenever it’s up and running and ready for sign-ups. I am not posting the
name for now so we don’t get overrun with sign ups. But we would love to invite
you back to our community when it’s set up. The new community will have it’s own
unique identity that doesn’t have to piggyback off of Lemmy and Reddit for it’s
name. But it will still aim to be the main UK lemmy instance that feddit.uk
[http://feddit.uk] was. By all means, it will be a full lemmy instance, still
federated, etc. It should be the same experience as feddit.uk
[http://feddit.uk]. But we actually do have fun plans to create a nice sense of
identity with that instance if all goes well! I will warn you, it does have a
silly name, but that was the name that was decided upon. We look forward to
having new members. All are welcome, whether or not you were from Feddit.UK
[http://Feddit.UK] or not. We will have the theme be a UK-based lemmy instance.
I’ll try and remember to update this post when we are ready. ~20CX12
