Hi all, tomorrow is when Reddits API change takes place and we are expecting a large influx of users and signups. I have prepared as much as possible but there still may be some down time. I will try my best to keep it as minimal as possible.

Please be helpful and welcoming to all the new users. Also keep an eye out in the Support community if you can and help answer any questions if possible. Thanks for eveyones help and contribution.

Also a massive thank you to everyone who donates. Its a huge help with the expenses for running the site. Im commitied to making this instance the best I can and any feedback good or bad is very much welcome.

New user from Reddit here. Someone can explain what instances are?

Think of it like email. You have an account on gmail, i habe an account on yahoo, we can still email each other but we belong to different instances/servers/providers. Thats the most basic way to understand it.

This gives a good explanation.
