The instance has been down several times over the past few days?

Is there some ongoing maintenance, or are we doomed to face the same as feddit.uk?

Think I'm getting deja vu or Mandela'd. I swear I read that week's ago and it sorted itself out.

So what's the new instance URL?

It eventually came back online, and the people behind the new one don't want to share the new instance until it's "ready". I don't understand it either.

Feddit.uk went down for a bit and no one knows why. We're seemingly back now though.

There is only one fully privileged admin (the original owner), and they're not super present. We have two other admins but they're restricted in what they can do (don't have access to the server itself I think?, can't upgrade).

A couple of users are setting up a new UK lemmy instance in response to this situation. One of those users is very keen for it to be a replacement, hence the posts. Not everyone is on board with it though. It's been put in hold while they iron some things out.

It's not an "official" replacement for feddit.uk in that sense, but it's another UK instance.

They need a dashingly handsome and charismatic leader such as me to show them the right path to glory. Unfortunately, I'm going to bed.
