[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.

I like Lemmy, it's more of a message board and I think it's more adapted to the size of this community. I don't have any experience with monstr.land, but Amethyst feels more like Twitter, and we would lose the connection with the rest of the federated world.

Why not deploy a nostr instance on a sub domain of monero.town? That way we can try it out.

If this instance disappears could you please give an advance notice so that we can migrate our accounts based here?

Note: during the outage we had no way of contacting you to get more information or help out, and that was a bit frustrating. Could we agree to meetup for example on lemmy.ml/c/Monero if there is an outage next time?

Thanks
