Where to go next with this Lemmy instance? (community.xmpp.net)

Hi all,

It's been over a year and the folks hosting the XMPP Lemmy experiment at community.xmpp.net have asked us to start transitioning it to our own hosting.

I'm writing to see what the community would like to do, or if anyone wants to take over hosting? The instance was never very widely used, so I think we can probably shut it down safely as well without too much loss.

What do you think?

That's what this post is about; if someone wants to keep it, we can, but it does cost a lot to run services like this (financially, in moderation hours, in operations, in security, etc.) and a lot of people would have to take that cost on. Given that there hasn't been much engagement at all on this server, I suspect we don't have anyone who wants to keep it running.
