Yesterday, muad’dibber had to quickly restore lemmygrad from a backup due to disk space issues on Lemmygrad’s host.
We didn’t have the info earlier because he’s super busy juggling between and fixing stuff on Lemmy, lemmy.ml and lemmygrad due to the Reddit migration. So please don’t take it too hard on him 🙏 he did what was necessary, there was no other option than to restore a backup, we just didn’t have the info.
That’s why I suggest that if you can code, you should help Lemmy! On our end we are starting to need better moderation tools (like being able to message the whole admin team would be great) to name just one. They have lots of issues open and probably even more now that lemmy has had a surge of activity, so any contribution to the code would help greatly!
Here’s the repo: https://github.com/LemmyNet
Lemmy is open source so all of this would happen on the repo like it’s been going on for 4 years, at most they should know where to start looking (in practice if they’re a programmer they’ll know what to do once on the repo).
That’s useful to know. I didn’t know if it was like modding, where someone could come in and start causing trouble, for example.
