  • @Demigodrick@lemmy.zip Thanks again for these rundowns! I am not a system administrator so not everything makes sense to me, but I find it really interesting and insightful to know about the different challenges that a site admin needs to do. If it’s not too much effort, I would really enjoy seeing more of this posts!

    Great idea on the external status page! I did run into an error 500 status when I assume the instance was being upgraded to 0.18, but the site seemed to be back pretty swiftly. Got two suggestions on this point:

    • Would it be possible to get a vanity URL for the status page if possible so that it’s easier to remember and access? For eg: status.lemmy.zip or lemmy.zip/status I am not sure if these examples are feasible as I am not very sure how TLDs work.

    • How about some funny pages for our error 404 or 500 pages? We can also get the community on this instance involved to design a few and ask others to vote on it!

    As for the funding, IMO you are perfectly entitled to reach out to the community since you have clearly mentioned that it’s optional and not mandatory. I would recommend adding a link to the Open Collective website to the sidebar as well. I have not contributed yet, but I will in a month or two once my finances are in order.

    Once again, thanks to you and @Sami@lemmy.zip for your efforts and glad to be a part of this instance!
