They will be missed! As this is part of the current trend in the dwindling number of Lemmy instances.

What happened?

[-] willya@lemmyf.uk 4 points 15 hours ago

My excitement for all of this has disappeared. I don’t want to put any more money into it. I’ll still be around on a different account that I had before I launched my own.

Seems like the instance owner got burned out, happens sadly

I would really love an official way to transfer ownership of a server. I suppose as long as the domain can transfer and the docker volumes are zipped up it could be migrated anywhere

Thanks for the great memes! And contributing to the Fediverse

Their most famous community was !sexmemes@lemmyf.uk (NSFW)

Hm, not sure the upvotes federated properly here.

Looks like any nsfw communities don't show up on fedia.io, viewing that community from that link that pulls up the mirror this site uses just shows it as empty for me. Same when checking any on like, lemmynsfw despite that being listed as federated.

==EDIT== Turns out I just had hide NSFW content on in the settings, I just assumed it would blur the thumbnails. When unchecking that it shows up
