I’ve seen many German memes here today.

Communities on feddit.de won't update 'cos the instance is kaput - the replacement is https://feddit.org/

stoy ,

Sigh, does that mean I have to block that entire instance as well?

Are there any active english communities there?

Most of their communities look to be German, but their biggest one - !europe - is English language only

superkret ,

You can just hide all German language posts in your settings.

Feddit.de was big but I don’t see it much anymore. Communities got big in the reddit exodus last year, but you have to keep nurturing them for them to catch on. I’d suggest trying to revive them by posting. Over time they’ll start to grow again

That’s the big thing. Posting content consistently is key to the survival of communities like this one

Came here to say this: The Fediverse is what you make it. If it seems slow, take a few minutes and make some posts every day.

As someone else said, feddit.de is dead and has been superseded by feddit.org. The original instance has unfortunately been abandoned by its owner.

The owner should pass the torch rather than let it die.

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

ksharp ,

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.”

superkret ,

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.

Pechente ,

Absolutely. I don’t know much about the situation but it seems like the owner had some personal issues and just went radio silent on everyone up until someone made the new instance. The whole situation was definitely mishandled

The owner started a new life as a yoga instructor in Pyongyang.
