I don't see that, can you tell me where you search and what you search for? Maybe add a screenshot?

It's configured to only search within tags, because otherwise the database will die. I will change that once the code is tuned for larger databases... But it shouldn't return an error.

I don't see another option than volunteer-run instances or professionally run instances. And for professionally run instances you need funds (so paid subscriptions) and for volunteer-run instances you need volunteers...

In my experience, as long as there are enough active users, you'll find enough volunteers.

I'll look into that

Nice work. Good thing we can have communities migrated now.

I stopped self-hosting stuff that's for the family. In case something happens to me, no way my wife is going to keep this stuff running. And the kids are too young. So they would lose everything.

Family stuff goes in managed solutions (like Proton). Personal and public stuff is selfhosted.

Just something to consider.

Thanks! We're doing our best. But we also need the github issues solved by the devs. Or others with programming skills

Any more info in the logging on why the attempt was rejected?

You should be able to cancel and/or change it:

Not sure I understand this. The Friendica project originated in Germany. Do you mean a certain instance that's based in Australia?

We have done before, but don't do that often, so we don't bother users too much. But we might do again soon, and maybe do a monthly post on the mastodons/sharkeys etc

Sending e-mail to info at lemmy dot world would be the best option. The team will pick that up.

(By the way: 2 EUR per year would be enough if every active user would donate that but they don't)

For lemmy.world / mastodon.world including some of the smaller instances we host, it's like 0,06 euro per active user per month. If every active user would pay 2 Euro per year that would be enough to cover hosting costs. If every active user would pay 1 euro per month, I could quit my dayjob and focus on the Fediverse fulltime.

(Sidenote: Stux and I created the non-profit Fedihosting Foundation which owns lemmy.world .. but finances are still separate for his and my instances)

Nice

Test

The server is in Finland, actually. I am in The Netherlands, so is the non-profit foundation owning LW.

For me the faster VACUUM would be reason enough to migrate :-) But I think overall it's best to keep up-to-date and a few minutes downtime is worth it.

I'll try to install the BookFace UI on friendica.world. Also I've started a Friendica manual at https://help.friendica.onl/ but it needs to get content.

Sorry about that. Still trying to find out why it sometimes suddenly freezes.

How so?
