It was a Lemmy instance. I haven't been able to log in for the past couple of months, and now it's down completely.๐Ÿ™

I'd never heard of it.

But there are a couple issues with hosting Lemmy instances that have caused some other instances.

If you allow images, you need to deal with pedos posting things to your instance. Now you are hosting illegal content, and that kind of charge isn't something that you really want to deal with.

Something else is just money. It's not free, so if no one donates, it's out of pocket.

That was the second instance I was on that disappeared (the other was Vlemmy.net). Now I'm starting to see why everyone wants to be on the big instances, less chance of them going down.

As far as I could tell, lib.lgbt didn't have a donation page. It's surprising how many instances don't even bother to put up one.
