Very very interested. May need to snag this.

What the fuck

You're probably right but I more so like to enjoy the journey when it comes to reading more than anything

The fact that you’re so right makes me sick to my stomach. G-d help us. :(

I wonder if we can get literature.cafe communities back on here 👀

I can vouch for slrpnk.net. Their staff team is fantastic and extremely proactive in engaging on matters pertaining to user safety.

What reasons are they uncomfy and is there any way we can make women safer here? Not sealioning, being genuine. I try my best to make my instance as inclusive and welcoming as possible and would love to know if there's anyway I could improve. I honestly would go as far to say there's a pretty high ratio of women on literature.cafe compared to other small niche focused instances, but I don't have any actual statistics to gauge from to say definitively.

Y'all have been so patient its unreal I seriously appreciate it <3

I really appreciate the community and support patience, I was so anxious I killed the community with it being down for so long and broke peoples trust completely. I'm hopeful the steps we've taken to secure things have improved trust and transparency. I am also extremely grateful for other instances support as well, a large portion of lemmy admins (some of which I only had talked to in passing!) were disheartened by our downtime and expressed support when they could. More than one instance admins and staff reached out to me, as well as some members of lemmy.world's admin team actually helped out too :)

Arthur swooped in right at the perfect moment tbh I was struggling trying to get lemmy back online and suddenly got a DM and it went from there. This instance would likely have been dead permanently without Arthur's help.
