I've noticed today that [email protected] hasn't had any new posts or comments for about a day now.

However when I go to https://lemmy.world/c/world in the browser there's way more activity.

Yeah, it’s tricky to know when to pull the trigger as Tom may spring into action any time.

Exactly yeah. We don't want to act too soon, but also leaving it too late could mean the instance gets defederated by other big instances and people leave for other instances.

Are you knowledgeable enough to volunteer as an admin here? I imagine duties are light and if we can get a few people onboard it shouldn’t be too bad

To be honest I don't know what's involved. I'd need to look into how hosting works and what's involved in things like upgrades. I'm a software engineer (dotnet C#, AWS mostly) so it wouldn't be alien to me and I might be able to help out on a temporary basis but I can't really commit to anything due to time.

Given my level of technical knowledge, I can confidently say that I am unable to offer support in any way.

But I'll second that this is a great instance -- one which I've really enjoyed seeing grow and begin to pick up steam -- and anyone able to step up has my gratitude.

Me neither. I may spin up an instance to have a nos around but I assume the general Admin business is a bit like the administration of a web forum in which there's a backend with relevant tools and the settings, presumably a way to upgrade from there. I'm pretty familiar with that kind of thing over the years.

Access to the actual server is likely to be different again but if there is a web admin panel then getting a few people signed up to that should help at least resolve the current issues.

I've got dev/sys admin experience, so happy to help out, I'm just probably not the most reliable, but it seems like we would have a few candidates to help pitch in, so between like 5? of us (presumably including Tom), the duties should be light if we share the load.

I've read that 5-6 is a decent number of Admins for an instance as it provides redundancy and spreads the work out so no one person feels like it is too much hassle.
