I'll be updating the lemmy-ui and backend in a few minutes to latest.

Here's my immediate-term roadmap for this instance:

1. Establish more formal site-wide Code of Conduct
2. Define Creative Commons licensing for content
3. Build some bots for our mods!

A bit longer, but still short-term:

1. Establish an organization to run this instance
2. Create a way for this org to collect donations to lesson server cost burden

And starting now/soon but moving into the medium term:

1. Refactor infrastructure to ensure durability and stability
2. Start and/or contribute to open-sourced projects related to lemmy mod-tooling, bots, and wikis

Maybe not surprisingly, I'm actually off to the park in a few minutes to toss a baseball around with some friends but I'll be back this afternoon to work on these tasks!

Please comment your thoughts on the roadmap. Am I missing anything? Is there anything you'd like to see me focus on? Do you want to contribute?

When reddit goes dark this month and forever after, I'll be looking for a new home on the internet to discuss my favorite pastime, baseball.

I am not here to convince you that lemmy is the next best thing or that it's going to replace reddit but it's the best we have now. If people of like minds or similar interests band together, we can create our own place and ensure that place doesn't disappear or decay because it's controlled by companies or individuals who don't have the community's best interests in mind.

To that end, I've created this lemmy instance, separate from the main lemmy.ml instance, in order to create a space for sports fans to discuss and share news about their favorite sports, teams, players, etc.

I think it's important for durability's sake that there is no mass migration from reddit to a single lemmy instance. That defeats the most powerful part of lemmy: the federation.

If a community can
