I have noticed a change. It seems to coincide with the lemmynsfw.com disappearing, but im not attributing it to that, or the timing. I seem to recall another server disappearing around then.
Has there been a reduction in active users?
Follow your own link: it's back (in archive mode).
lemm.ee went
Same time or very close to?
Nah, .ee closed down mid last year. And most of its users moved to .zip or piefed.
Nsfw is gone? Can you tell me more? Did it just disappear? I noticed a lot less porn in my feed so I guess that explains that.
If I remember correctly, the instance owner vanished but left the instance running.
Secondary admins kept the place running until something happened to the instance itself. Something with the database that the admin didn't have access to recover from.
I believe it was that secondary admin that spun up the new instance.
Sorry that's vague but about to get ready for work.
Fedinsfw.app
It went down a couple of weeks ago. It was weird to think of an Internet community without porn. Another instance got spun up a week or two later.
As for why, I don't know.
Original admin went AWOL, other admin couldn't access server. Second admin couldn't get ahold of first admin, eventually server went down. Second admin started new NSFW instance.
Then they somehow got everything back (maybe original admin replied to messages), and so the old site went up again as an archive.
Interesting, thank you!
