Are there others?

Also, it seems like a lot, does anyone know why they all went down at the same time?

$. Almost every reason for shutting off boils down to lack of financial support to keep it running.

Nope. It’s administration and moderation.

Nope, believe it or not it is dirt cheap to run one of these.

It really depends. It would not surprise me if lemmy.world needs to buy a terabyte of storage every month just to have enough space for all image uploads. That’s possible when you can just use a single hard drive and put it in a server at home, but if you use hosting and/or want redundancy that can add up quickly.

We’re not talking about the ones where every person decided to sign up to though.

The initial enthusiasm is wearing off.

Check out these graphs (scroll down) https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy. They don’t show October yet, but there are some downward trends visible.

As a trader, I would say this is a minor correction and we really should not read much into it. :) (of course, this is not a financial graph, but I’ve seen the similar patterns of impulse/correction in many graphs that measure opinion and/or human activity)

Came from reddit and I’m still here. Maybe I’m the only one planning to stick around, but probably not.

This seems less about users bailing and more about instance admins deciding to do so. The latter have a much higher level of overhead and stress to deal with, so it makes sense to see as the highs of the Reddit protests fade out.

I usually check https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats, which shows a constant number of servers, which is why I got confused

Yeah my Lemmy.ninja account stopped working a few days ago. No clue why, or even where to look to find out. I hope it wasn’t just lack of funding because I gladly would have donated.

It’s always the small instances full of passion.

I’m new here and quite liking it, but I have to say, the constant “it’s not working out” messages in these posts make me not want to engage as much. No one likes to invest in a downward trend.

Maybe the community needs to be a little more enthused, and it will keep newer folks around?

Read these as exceptions. Most instances are fine, which is why they are not talked about. Recently there was a post discussing uptimes. Many had more than 99.3%.
