I've been pondering the long-term sustainability of TasLem.

I'm curious to know if there are any plans or considerations regarding server management and lifecycle. Understanding the future roadmap can help us align our Lemmy strategies.

I'd also appreciate more information on the infrastructure - host, backup strategy, network connectivity. I've done a little investigation, but don't want to run a full pen test...!

I have accounts on a few instances and have been considering setting up my own for data ownership. I don't want to establish myself on a server that will be removed after a few years without the ability to transfer ownership, etc.

Thanks Admin

Hi all,

Apologies for the spotty availability over the past 12 hours - I have migrated the site to a new host, dedicated to just Lemmy.

The new host has more memory and better network bandwidth, so hopefully this will see us through without any issues.

Commenting for exposure to the site, how are we all?

To subscribe to a remote community, first find that community via Lemmy Community Broswer and click on symbol to copy the link.

On TasLem, click on the search magnifying glass and paste the URL you copied into the search field. Click search.

At the moment nothing will appear in the search results (possibly a Lemmy bug), but after about 10 seconds if you click back on "Communities" and select "All" - you should see the new community in the list.

From there you can click on "subscribe" to do that, or the name of the community to view it.
