Not sure if I should move this community or just let it close. Thoughts?

Hey there everyone!
It's been a nice run, but all good things come to an end as they say.
This nice thing comes to an end on Jul 2nd, 2026 which is when the domain expires and I've decided to not renew it.
It's been a nice run and I'm grateful to all the active users of our small Fediverse home!

As for the reason for this decision, it's because Lemmy and the Threadiverse in general didn't turn out into what I envisioned it would be.
For a hot minute it was honestly great but eventually all that remained was tankies propaganda and depressing news. And probably a few non-political communities that sadly don't really offset it for me.
I was pondering on keeping it running even if I don't really use it that much anymore, but then Hetzner announced a significant price change (and you can bet that Lemmy is an unoptimized resource hog) which is not the reason on its own, but the proverbial last straw.
So yeah, that's it I guess. I promised that if the instance ever goes down, I'll let everyone know with enough time and I believe I managed to do it.
I'll maintain the instance until it expires and I'll keep on moderating it of course but it's probably a good time to start looking for a new Threadiverse home.
Yet again, thank you very much to everyone who has been part of this instance! And to many of the friendly admins of other instances!
