lemmyverse.net looks to be unmaintained and is become increasingly less useful

As you may have noticed, the crawler at https://lemmyverse.net isn't picking up anything from instances on versions 0.19.4 or 0.19.5.

The Issue itself is easily fixed, and there's already a PR for it from lemm.ee's admin, but there's been no response from the lemmyverse developer.

Does anyway have any other ways of contacting him?
If this continues (I realise 2 weeks isn't that long), is anyone interested in forking the code and hosting it on a new domain?

Thanks.

is anyone interested in forking the code and hosting it on a new domain?

I really hope so. It's a handy website, hope it'll get some new love...

I think people weren't sure if you were around (or who the dev was in general), and so they started thinking about how to keep the project alive. I'm sure people would much rather use this site instead of moving :)

Thank you for updating it!

No problems mate :) As long as I'm still paying for hosting I'll attempt to keep it updated.

I sometimes go awol and work on other stuff, pinging me here usually works 😊

I'm also glad that people still use and find the site valuable

I have now accepted the PR from @sunaurus :)
The changes are rolling out and the crawlers are crawling hard 24/7 again.

Sorry for the couple week delay, hit my up here next time :D

Right, I've calmed down and had a read. I did notice the instance count reducing. 😅 It makes sense .19 instances can't be crawlel. I'll see about the PR tonight

meldrik ,

I hope this gets fixed. I use that website a lot and also direct new users towards it.

fossphi ,

Oh that's a shame. I used that website a lot to find active communities across instances
