Over the next few weeks, we're facing another server change. I'm doing everything to optimize costs and prepare the instance for long-term operation. More details are available on the status page I'm currently working on.

This week, I also refreshed the project's code, and it seems like I'm slowly getting back on track regarding health matters.

Soon, there will be several moderators on the website - if you'd like to help with this, please write to [email protected], mentioning your nickname in the message. Moderators will be selected based on profile activity - there might be a few additional questions in the reply. However, remember that moderation is not always a pleasant task, so think it over. All moderation actions are transparent and subject to public evaluation.

Most importantly, I've sorted out my personal matters and, in a way, financially secured myself, so starting next month, I'll be able to fully dedicate myself to the project for a few months, focusing solely on it, which I haven't had the opportunity to do for a some time again. More information coming soon...

I am glad you are getting better.
I will have to have a look into helping with moderation though I take it site moderation is at the instance level unless you mean for magazines?

Is there a link to that page? Or is it not live right now?

@ernest thank you for the update and everything. Its great to hear your personal matter is kinda sorted.

  1. I already have the moderation of several magazines so I won't be able to contribute to that more, I think.

  2. I am a little bit familiar with bug reporting, not in github tho. So I just created a github account and a codeberg to try and contribute. Of course I will have to spend time checking out the existing ones and familiarizing myself with the platforms. I say all this because if you or any of the active devs, have test cases or a specific area that you would like to check first or anything relevant, I would gladly do my best to help on demand.

I am definitely not qualified for instance level moderation, but may be for a magazine. Is that part of what you are looking for? I did put a request in for one a ways back, but perhaps am not qualified for that, either. It would be a good step i think. But I don't know. I can go thru the abandoned list again.
