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!


click here if you're interested in the reasonAs 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!

  • You can't post anything that's illegal in Germany or Czechia
  • All NSFW posts must be tagged NSFW
  • No hate groups promotion and no hate speech
  • You can create any community you want (even NSFW) as long as it complies with the above rules
  • No disinformation spreading

I hope I don't have to specify individual items (for example, racism is part of "no hate speech", child porn is part of illegal stuff and so on).

Just got this comment—sounds like a user on another instance couldn’t view images uploaded to our instance. Anyone have details?

User’s on feddit.uk - maybe we had to exclude the UK due to draconian laws over there 🤔 (obviously providing this great free service here isn’t worth getting sued over or anything unless some millionaire donor proactively steps up perhaps!)

My rss feeds are not working for approximately a week (this includes me specific feeds like inbox or my posts or my saved content, and general stuff like public communities hosted on lemmings.world). My guess is that Anubis might have something to do with it.

Instance won’t load in Voyager iOS. Perhaps it’s the bot protection, as seen in Safari:

When i click a RSS reader icon on the homepage https://lemmings.world/ then the URL is like https://lemmings.world/feeds/front/......long string here.....xml?sort=Active and it triggers a download, not display of my Firefox-ESR RSS reader extension (called "Brief"). Other RSS feed like one linked from sub-lemmy https://lemmings.world/c/protonprivacy@lemmy.world is displayed properly.

When I click a Brief icon in address bar of a https://lemmings.world/, then I get correctly subscribed.

When I compare subscribed feed URL with the URL of the on-page button, they are identical.

How this issue can be fixed?

The time flies really fast! Exactly 2 years ago I was the one and only user of this instance and now there are thousands of us! So happy birthday to Lemmings.world and hope you all enjoy our small corner of the internet!

I’ve been noticing this more and more in the modlogs, with it proven via the “creator” option in some instances’ modlogs that the people doing the bans were mods and not admins, and when I first joined Lemmy, one of the things that were held as a universal truth was that this absolutely could not happen.
