Some people from the German-speaking part of Lemmy have come together in the linked matrix room to plan the founding of a Lemmy association. The club's planning is based on the experience that feddit.de has had to severely restrict operations for two months for technical reasons and the consequences we have drawn from this. The servers must be reliable, and neither a community migration tool nor passive complaining will help. True to the motto “Do what!” So we came together to democratize server ownership and make servers more reliable by jointly funding and maintaining them. It is not yet possible to predict what will develop beyond that, but that much is already planned.
Anyone who would like to stop by (and maybe even join in the planning) is welcome to do so! :)
