Hey folks!
I think I usually write too much, so I will try to keep it short and sweet this time.
Discord
I have created an official Discord server for lemm.ee! This is mostly intended as a back-up channel to share announcements with users - for example, if there is ever an incident and lemm.ee is offline, I can send updates about the situation in Discord. But feel free to join if you just want to chat with other lemm.ee users as well!
You can join the Discord at this link: https://discord.gg/XM9nZwUn9K
New admins
Two new admins have been added to the team! @Matt_Glan@lemm.ee and @Aris@lemm.ee have stepped up and volunteered to help me take care of the report queue. I think having good admins is super important to ensure a pleasant experience for all users, so I’m super happy that we have users who were willing to share this responsibility with me.
My hope is that adding a few more admins has helped ensure that I am less of a single point of failure for lemm.ee now. I am still considering maybe adding one or two more admins in the near future, but in terms of actual workload, I think the current team is already a pretty good size.
Anyway, that’s all I have for you for now - please join the Discord if that’s something you’re interested in, and please welcome our new admins!
Edit: @prefix@lemm.ee has been added as an admin as well!
For now, I believe this is a good size for the team, we won’t be adding any more admins in the near future. A big thanks to all who responded to the call for admins!
Hello everyone! looking forward to helping out how I can!
Can you guys have the server on Revolt? It’s FOSS
Hola!
A publicaly viewable mastodon account for major announcements and (most importantly) downtime notices would be super nice if y’all have the time.
Wish you used Matrix instead. Kinda weird to use discord imo since it’s horrible for privacy & as others have said it’s just another closed-source walled garden, and that’s the reason many people switched to lemmy in the first place.
Even if there’s a matrix bridge to it I wouldn’t join because my messages would still be stored on discord’s servers (as far as I understand, correct me if I’m wrong). I hope you consider switching.
