lemm.ee Discord & new admins! - eviltoast

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!

      The admin is extremely high-functioning IME.

      He updates users frequently, and is very good at explaining what’s going on without getting lost in tech-speak. He’s personally attended to one of my issues (avatar upload problem) with a quickness, even doing so via email. He also took the time to help Lemmy.World with their recent attack. Lastly, altho FV instances evidently can cost as little as US$10-20/m, he runs a beefy setup with a lot of security and high-end stability, spending US$200/m to do so.

      Sunaurus is a friggn’ boss IMO.

        Absolutely. Sunaurus’s communication and the friendliness of this instance is why I came here when VLemmy went down. I have nothing but praise for the way this instance is run and for its performance.
