Hello, community!

r/fossdroid moderator here! I just wanted to chime in and explain that I created this community quite some time ago to check out Lemmy “back in the day”, when it still was pretty unstable, etc. and then practically immediately abandoned it.

Shortly before and during the Reddit blackout, many people flocked to Lemmy, resulting in the instability of many major Lemmy instances. This and some other reasons led me to host our own instance, called FOSSware.

You don’t have to re-register there. Just subscribe to fossdroid with your already existing Lemmy account.

See you there!

    The instance seems to be down? Been getting a 502 Bad Gateway error for the last day.

    I made my original Lemmy account on social.fossware.space so I’m looking for some update on the instance. It no longer appears on join-lemmy

    I’m hoping it’s just down for maintenance or something and hasn’t been permanently shut down. Haven’t been able to find any discussion about what’s going on anywhere else.
