lots of German speaking channels with several hundreds and thousands of members but no content whatsoever, some of them with no posts for the last 6 months…

        The owner vanished and the other Admins miss the ssh keys to be able to migrate it. Also feddit.de had a partially fried database after a disk ran out of space

          Seriously, what’s up with owners vanishing? Kbin.social, Kbin.run, feddit.de?

          Not even a message saying something like “this project is taking up too much of my time, bye everyone.”

            It wasn’t like that. The owner went on a long vacation during which the server’s disk ran full, the database was corrupted as a result, and the backup was overwritten with a corrupted state, before the owner returned.

            feddit.org was created as a community effort to keep that from happening again.
