The reason I am asking is because the admins don't remove spam and the version they are using is old.

Which make me ask, why even open an instance on the Fediverse if you are not going to keep it updated and spam free?

Over the long-term this has the potential to harm the Fediverse and take money out of the other Piefed instance admins that keep their instances updated and spam free.

When will .world admins start caring about the Piefed instance?

Sorry for the delay, I'm a new admin and I was only a lemmy user. Some admins have been a bit busy IRL so a few things have gotten a little behind.

I've taken a look over there and I'm now starting to keep a bit of an eye over there.

Of course, we're all volunteers, and while sometimes we're EXTREMELY quick on spotting spam, it can also be an hour (or few) if we're not around and/or it just doesn't pop up in a way we notice.

So definitely report spam you find. Personally, I wouldn't mind a PM if you'd like. I'm still learning some of the fediverse bits. I'm working on some tools to help make some of it a little easier to moderate - for example, reports on lemmy.world are decent for moderators, but it's a bit more difficult for them to be useful for admins, so it's often better to start a thread here or use one of the other methods to contact us for when an admin is needed.

So there are some very limited reports on piefed.world - I'm honestly not sure how we prefer y'all report spam to use, so I'll ask my fellow admins when they have a little time - but especially meanwhile, definitely poke me and I'll be glad to take a look.

(Can't speak on the outdated version, alas, but I'll pass that along - these threads do get sent to us, it's just a matter of when someone has time to address issues)

Please don't give up on us yet :)

    Any update about updating the Piefed instance?

    The current instance version is becoming ancient: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/releases

    No quick answer, but i've passed it on. I do know there are still some issues affecting availability, so it may yet be a little bit, I'm sorry to say - please feel free to poke me again in a week or two, but hopefully you might not have to. :)

    My dude, I can't believe I am asking again, but is there is any update?

    Minor update: No promise on timeline, but it is known and is on the list, things just haven't allowed for time yet. "Soonish" has a wide range of meanings, but it will be "soonish" rather than "way laterish" or never, soooooo, please do continue to be patient :)

    (It's more involved than just an update, but also requires a bit of code review, that's one reason for the delay)

    Thank you for your patience and for the poke. I know that real world has keep the coupld of folks that might do this busy recently. I don't know if there's a reason other than that for the delay, but it's probably just that. I'm poking them again on it, which is what I can do.
