Hey guys, I set up https://forums.lgbt.io and see if anyone likes to join and help shaping the forum community. :) I welcome feedback, especially on the forum sub-sections. And I hope you'll like the theme that I customised from a paid theme. Any feedback would be much appreciated! 😊

Psychologically, why do people tend to control others? There are two control freaks in my own family, trying to control what I do and what I say in my entire life..

Cleared remote media that are older than 30 days, feeling great to see used disk space reduced by a big chunk 😅

Everything is back to normal. We are on the latest version - v2.6.1. Thank you for your patience.

If you're interested, have a look at the releases to know what's new: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases

And, don't forget to subscribe to our status page for any future alerts: https://exana.io/s/o0a8u6gqz5pz23pg/public

I have bumped up our instance version to v2.5.2 now, will proceed with the upgrade to v2.6.1 (latest) in the background.

Customisations will be reapplied last.

At the meantime, do subscribe to our status page at https://exana.io/s/o0a8u6gqz5pz23pg/public so that you're not lost during any downtime.

Sorry for the prolonged downtime!

Instance is still not upgraded due to the prolonged backup process (worst of all it cannot be cancelled!). You'll be able to toot and read toots, but there's going to be downtime now and then for the next 24 hours. Please bear with me.

I have set up a status page at https://exana.io/s/o0a8u6gqz5pz23pg/public which you can subscribe to, to get latest updates.

Server will be taken down for upgrade process in an hour (counting from this toot).

Or maybe set up something like Status Page (I can try looking for alternative free solutions)?

Is Telegram channel a good way to broadcast server status to you all? 🤔

I find it tough to communicate with our instance members whenever there's server downtime or when the instance upgrade took more than it should.

Hi fellow members, I will be performing the upgrade within 24 hours, counting from the time of this toot. Thank you for waiting such a long time! 💟

Please bear with me a few more days and I will upgrade our instance to the latest version!
