Last week this instance decided out of nowhere that it deserves a break and vanished.
After multiple attempts of troubleshooting, I was about to put up a static html to announce the move away from “the broken ass lemmy”, when i figured out the real problem (nginx config was changed for some reason and no longer correct).
That being said, I still would like to move away from lemmy. At the time of setup, it was the closest to a reddit replacement we had available but by now nostr has matured a lot and it would be in everyones best interest to start building a community on there instead of a federated platform like lemmy on which you lose your entire online presence when the instance goes down.
If you have any suggestions on what specific nostr frontend we should host here on monero.town, please feel free to share them!
Personally id like to deploy an instance of https://monstr.land/ but sadly it is currently not FOSS.
you can just directly ask on nostr if anyone knows of some good forum style nostr frontends. this is a very in-demand type of client and lots of people are already interested in getting one. here’s an example of a conversation where people asked:

try to be more open minded. it does not have to be similar to reddit with a voting system. it could be more like a simple bulletin board or a traditional web 2.0 forum as well.
