lots of German speaking channels with several hundreds and thousands of members but no content whatsoever, some of them with no posts for the last 6 months…
what happened?
Communities on feddit.de won’t update 'cos the instance is kaput - the replacement is https://feddit.org/
Feddit.de was big but I don’t see it much anymore. Communities got big in the reddit exodus last year, but you have to keep nurturing them for them to catch on. I’d suggest trying to revive them by posting. Over time they’ll start to grow again
As someone else said, feddit.de is dead and has been superseded by feddit.org. The original instance has unfortunately been abandoned by its owner.
The owner should pass the torch rather than let it die.
The owner started a new life as a yoga instructor in Pyongyang.
The owner vanished and the other Admins miss the ssh keys to be able to migrate it. Also feddit.de had a partially fried database after a disk ran out of space
Seriously, what’s up with owners vanishing? Kbin.social, Kbin.run, feddit.de?
Not even a message saying something like “this project is taking up too much of my time, bye everyone.”
It wasn’t like that. The owner went on a long vacation during which the server’s disk ran full, the database was corrupted as a result, and the backup was overwritten with a corrupted state, before the owner returned.
feddit.org was created as a community effort to keep that from happening again.
