Hey Reddthat,

We now have nearly 700 active accounts! I can't believe how amazing that is to me, and a whopping 24 people choosing to put their wallets on the line and donate to the Reddthat cause.

If you feel like contributing monetarily, you can over on our Reddthat OpenCollective here

Maintenance

We have how gotten to the point where our little server is no longer supporting us the best way it can. On July 28th I will turn off reddthat, take a backup and migrate us to the new server.

This new server has double the specs of our little go-getter and costs a whopping AUD$60 per month.
This will allow me to utilise the old server (current) as a development server to test all future updates, and the new server will allow us to keep our post times low, and injecting meme into our eyeballs as fast as possible.

Thanks

Thankyou all for choosing Reddthat as your federation home and a special thankyou to those who have created communities on Reddthat as well.

Tiff


Maintenance Complete!

We have now successfully migrated to our new server!

Everything went smoothly and no issues were encountered.
The longest issue was related around restoring the database as I forgot --jobs=4, so it was only restoring via one thread instead of multiple.

This should convert the UTC time to everyone's local one unless I screwed something up

Seems it is working, so here's a countdown too! (wish you could embed it directly in a post...)

Edit: wait, it's on the 28th and not today? Updated the links accordingly, but the post body still says 26th

This is such a happy wholesome update! Thank you for doing the grind work to make this place run! I'll definitely become a donor in the near future 🥰

Thanks for the heads up!

I assume that this update is primarily to make the editor work better for me to copy and paste weirdly formatted poetry into the "create post" textbox.

Honestly it is about time.
