    Aren’t many of these instances a product of the reddit migration? I don’t expect the one I’m on to be much older.

      That makes sense. I’m a reddit refugee, just recently joined. Should have checked the domain registration date. I suppose there will be a lot of new instances dying or not being properly maintened in the near future.

      Edit: when I couldn’t access vlemmy.net, I signed up to feddit.nl. Just checked the domain registration date; June 1st 2023. Bummer.

        Do they have an Open Collective page or something similar? Transparency about servers and costs? Those are the first things to look for in an instance.

        Also, for all we know vlemmy could return. We have no details yet.
