[Resolved] lemmyverse.net looks to be unmaintained and is becoming increasingly less useful

freamon@lemmy.world to Fediverse@lemmy.world – 139 points –

As you may have noticed, the crawler at https://lemmyverse.net isn't picking up anything from instances on versions 0.19.4 or 0.19.5.

The Issue itself is easily fixed, and there's already a PR for it from lemm.ee's admin, but there's been no response from the lemmyverse developer.

Does anyway have any other ways of contacting him?
If this continues (I realise 2 weeks isn't that long), is anyone interested in forking the code and hosting it on a new domain?

Thanks.

Oh that's a shame. I used that website a lot to find active communities across instances

is anyone interested in forking the code and hosting it on a new domain?

I really hope so. It's a handy website, hope it'll get some new love...

.... I can just update it. I'll check the PR today....

I think people weren't sure if you were around (or who the dev was in general), and so they started thinking about how to keep the project alive. I'm sure people would much rather use this site instead of moving :)

Thank you for updating it!

I hope this gets fixed. I use that website a lot and also direct new users towards it.
