Hello m@teys,
I’ve been waiting for this a long time (half a year), personally. After seeing the surge in piefed instances, i.e. blahaj, .ca, .zip, quokk.au, and .world creating their own instances, and clients guaranteeing future piefed support, we’ve been thinking about potentially opening an instance in the future. Not a guarantee, just an idea. This isn’t a voting thread, just a discussion. Later on we’ll actually vote on this.
Do note that this thread will not guarantee an instance; we are discussing a hypothetical. Suggestions? Ideas? Criticisms? make your voice heard.
Have a good week!

I’ve been a sys engineer for a long time. You have to know that it just adds up. A tiny service here, a tiny service there, some custom code here and there. If you will fully manage it, go for it. Then piefed will be up as long as you or a successor manages it. This setup will not affect lemmy and db0 and that’s all I want and care for.
Thank you :) it will not affect lemmy.dbzer0 at all, and we don’t bother modifying the source code of lemmy/piefed (besides themes) but besides that, it should hopefully be smooth sailing if it happened.
