Update: I contacted with current big owners, other older friends and lastly from some friends from here. Mostly all of them living in US so they don’t want/can’t host it. So I’ll keep hosting without being on moderation side. @[email protected] will post about details I guess. @[email protected] is the new top admin.

As you know, it has been 2 weeks since I opened the instance and it has grown quite a lot. Likewise, the time I have to devote to this work has increased a lot.

I’m dealing with lemmynsfw more than my IRL job right now :D This is bothering me. Also, having an NSFW instance instead of a normal instance makes things much more difficult. If you remember; I had my biggest scale fuck up with the post “we allow loli content” :) This situation wore me out. Also a lot of problems are bothering me, both as a software and as a community.

That’s why I’m thinking of transferring the instance and the domain to a person I trust. Who can maintain the deployments and also know this stuff. I will also roll over any donations made, excluding the current month’s expenses.

I’m sorry if I’ve upset anyone. That’s all from me.

    I am interested since I run servers and already have the infrastructure in place.

    I just have to get familiar with running a Lemmy instance on Docker. Also, I don’t see any documentation on how to transfer a Lemmy instance.

        Yeah, I know a lot about running dedicated servers and VPS. I am learning about self-hosted Lemmy instances and how to run them in Docker.

        I am currently setting up a VPS to test out a Lemmy Instance and how to migrate between domain names.

        Scaling is no issue for me since I already do that for a few clients.

      Where are your servers based if you don’t mind me asking? Feel free to DM if you don’t want that to be public info lol

        I have one dedicated server in the US and three VPS at Vultr. VPS at Vultr locations is nearest the client’s place of business since they only do a 100-mile radius of the business. My dedicated server uses CDNs from QUIC.cloud to Cloudflare. I can spin up VPS anywhere in the world.

          Are you based in the US and familiar with dealing with the legal end of hosting this kinda stuff/would be comfortable doing so? For transparency I am not the person to talk about this with, @yay is, I am just curious.

            I have been running adult sites since the late 90s. The legal end is not hard if you have everything in order. I have it all under a media company with business insurance.

            It is easy.

            If I were to run a Lemmy NSFW instance I would have my lawyer write up the exact legal terms as PornHub, YouTube, and Reddit.

            My system admin would also REX any banned words, flag accounts, and flag IPs; anything uploaded would be the user’s responsibility. I would also create a moderation bot.
