For the past couple of weeks, some of us moderators of the subreddit r/Silksong, have been working on an exciting project. We’ve created a lemmy instance for fans of indie games. We officially run and support this instance and the Silksong community on it. Please check it out at [email protected]

I invite you, current users of the Fedi-verse, to join us at @indie-ver.se, subscribe and interact with the communities there, as they grow. So we can support both a more free internet, and indie game communities. See you soon!

    Because they like the fediverse and want to help it grow. Or maybe they didn’t want to have to deal with admins ever again.

      If they really have the commitment to run that instance for years, and to organise a proper successor one day when they don’t want to do it any more - that would be growing the Fediverse. But if they abandon it after x years, they would be harming it.

        I’ve tried to document the infrastructure around it, and made everything super organized, so that it’s both easier to maintain and hand over in case that’s ever needed.
