If there’s no news in the next week or two, I’m gonna be looking to spin up a successor based on the same principles. Mander.xyz is my favorite part of the fediverse by a mile, and the spirit is worth keeping alive.

If anyone reading this has sysadmin experience and is willing to help out, I’d love to make it a joint project; feel free to shoot me a DM.

    To do that well, the post history should be reconstructed. A couple large nodes would possibly be subscribed to every mander community, so they would have a history of posts and comments which could then be reconstructed. Sadly, I think the software to do that does not exist:

    As old as Lemmy is now, it’s really a shame there is no backup tool.

    The mander community list and descriptions are available in lemmyverse. Unfortunately the descriptions are truncated despite someone’s request a year ago: https://lemmy.tgxn.net/post/5663028
