[Announcement] Migrating away from lemmy. (monero.town)

Last week this instance decided out of nowhere that it deserves a break and vanished.

After multiple attempts of troubleshooting, I was about to put up a static html to announce the move away from "the broken ass lemmy", when i figured out the real problem (nginx config was changed for some reason and no longer correct).

That being said, I still would like to move away from lemmy. At the time of setup, it was the closest to a reddit replacement we had available but by now nostr has matured a lot and it would be in everyones best interest to start building a community on there instead of a federated platform like lemmy on which you lose your entire online presence when the instance goes down.

If you have any suggestions on what specific nostr frontend we should host here on monero.town, please feel free to share them!

Personally id like to deploy an instance of https://monstr.land/ but sadly it is currently not FOSS.

Any move from Reddit to ANYWHERE is a good move, be it here, nostr, monstr or whatever. I hate Reddit with a passion, and wish the whole r/monero sub would move to nostr if as you are saying, lemmy instances can just vanish. Would a nostr community be more accessible by Tor than monero.town is? Also, just to clarify and without trying to ruin anyone's privacy, are admin and monerobull here one and the same?
