I'm sorry to be announcing this so suddenly, but at the end of next month I've decided to stop hosting seal cafe. The reason is because my financial situation has changed a lot since I first started hosting this fediverse instance, I have more bills to pay now and I find myself not posting on here enough to justify the operation costs. While I have had some people donate to me in order to keep it running (really grateful to those who have by the way) I have been hosting this instance entirely out of pocket for most of its runtime.I wanted to make this announcement now to give my active users a chance to migrate their account over to another instance so they can preserve their TL and preferences and whatnot. Also I'm not going to be leaving either, probably going to migrate to NCD or decayable dot ink or something.Again, I would like to thank the people that have donated to help keep this instance running a little longer. I wish I could keep running it longer and I hope to keep seeing you on this little slice of the interwebs 🦭

Your welcome, I'll still be around on some other instance and hopefully all of you guys will be too (thankfully you can export your account info into another instance pretty easily)

Under preferences on your profile you should be able to export your data (and import it from there on another instance). So if you go make an account on nicecrew dot digital for example and import your data there it should preserve your follows and send out notifications that you moved to people IIRC

@kroner Always unfortunate to see an instance go under. But, this is the circle of life. It will be interesting to see in the future with the continued development of FEPs if we will have nomadic Fediverse identities enabling painless user account migrations so that things like this aren't so much an issue.I am sure all the little seals in the cage will swim off to find suitable homes.

Should be easy enough, luckily we can export and then import our data onto any instance we want which should maintain follows

@kroner Tsundere can take some migrants as needed. Probably won't be your full time instance as it's hosted on hopes and dreams, but can serve as an intermediate.

I think Kroner should join forces with me as co-admin. I'll handle the bills. Our instances have always been closely aligned, it'd be a perfectly natural development.

Its always sad to see a node by a true owner-operator go down. The fedi will miss all of them no matter what was their purpose, they were all making the Fedi stronger.I hope you'll have the chance to bring up another instance again.

You gave a home to a lot of people and fostered a very nice community!I can honestly say I think we were probably one of the most casual instances who never fell into any kind of cult-like mentality and were (generally) just vibing. For that I thank you and appreciate the fact you gave a lot to keep this place running.(Sorry I was annoying for most of it though, lmao)
