CPO is one of the instances impacted by KNThost shutting down so the focus has been away from the active site and more on finding a suitable home. Unfortunately Lemmy isn’t the only service that KNT was hosting for us so there’s a lot of work that has to be done before KNT shuts down for good. ATM I’m doing testing on some dedicated server hosts and working through the problems that come up with each of them to figure out what services will end up where. Some things are being moved to my home server but certain things (like Lemmy) I want in a data center, not in my home, for a number of reasons.
Our communities continue to see growth and activity thanks to our local members and some awesome friends from around the Fediverse, so I don’t think my absence is missed too much. I’m happy to see people feeling comfortable in our space and it motivates me to find a new place to call home for what we have instead of starting over from scratch, which would be much easier.
The timing is pretty awful but at least we have time to try some other hosting options. I hope everyone else impacted by the KNT shutdown is able to find a new place to call home without too much trouble.
We moved to blahaj a while ago, the admins were amazingly helpful during the move. They’re a really secure instance as well. Might be worth looking into
At the moment just about everything is being considered. After touching base with the active local users it became obvious that at least a few people are happy to be @crazypeople.online and want the site to continue on. For crazy people they’re pretty quiet and they don’t cause much trouble so we don’t have a lot of back and forth communication 🤪. I wasn’t sure how much anyone cared if the current site continued compared to something like relaunching under a new domain or potentially even new software. They would prefer the current site be moved to a new home rather than relaunching, so I’m exploring those options first.
Working on moving the instance… Again.

Best of luck in all you do friends 💚.
