Sorry if this is disappointing to any of you, but we have so few members here now, and so much stuff is still broken, that we don't feel as though continuing is worth it.

However, /r/Piracy has their own Lemmy, and everything is working well on it, so we're going to start directing people there instead, as they share our same values and goals. Thanks for the support guys and again I am sorry this didn't work out. We wanted it to, but it just didn't.

So it sounds like money might help then? I could also pitch in a little, I don't mind giving back some if you're willing to maintain the instance. $100 is a pretty low bar to reach. If you are interested in maintaining this Lemmy, then perhaps spend a little time to plan out what resources you would need. Be it volunteer efforts, research, or cash. The community may well step up if you make a post detailing your needs.

Of course, it is entirely reasonable to discontinue the instance if it is too much of a headache or no longer what you prefer to do! I'm just pointing out that if you can present a clear concept of the help you need, you may find that it is available.
