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
I’m not a coder unfortunately, I just look like I might be one 🤓
It’s not just for coders. Users also should participate in discussion if they have an interest in how the project develops. I’ll summarize what you said and create an issue for this admin chat feature but if there’s any back and forth it would be a lot easier for you to talk to them directly than for me to act as intermediary.
I encourage you to get a GitHub account so you can communicate with the devs about your needs. Lots of people have GitHub accounts for just that reason. Open an issue (search first) in the repo with the tag “feature request”. Someone will want to take that task on at some point.
