Hi everyone, I’ll begin migrating the lemmy blåhaj database to the new server this morning in about 20 minutes.

Expected duration is about 1 hour for this migration.

There will be a maintenance page up during the migration and I will be updating the status as we go to keep you updated on the process.

Later today I’ll also be upgrading the software to the latest release as well.

    Yeah 3000 characters is quite a bit so calling them blogs or even mini blogs rather than micro blogs seems more appropriate IMO too.

    Micro blogs don’t interest me there’s not enough room to properly say something but small form blogs might interest me.

    Not a clue what’s up with the links clicking both leads me to wiki pages with no text. That seems like a weird bug on their part for sure.

      ya, im with you there. i had a twitter account but it was mostly to follow friends and internet celebrities. i created a mastodon account when elon did elon things but my friends didnt join mastodon and while many of the internet celebrities i follow did create mastodon accounts, i dont have much interest in social media broadly so i dont engage much there without friends. im mostly online for to find funny memes. i feel i dont have much of interest to post so it’s hard to find ways to engage outside of liking and voting stuff. i am much more interested in blogging tho, as at least sometimes ill want to talk at length about something but not have the room to do it on most existing platforms. i use tumblr currently to that end but id love if the fediverse had a blogging platform.

      i did join the hajkey instance here though, mostly out of curiosity as i had wanted to check out calckey for a while and the blahaj instances seem like a good fit for me. but as you can see i have a tendency to ramble and im not sure even 3,000 characters is enough for me! lol

      i did hear a while ago that tumblr was thinking of federating but im not sure if anything came of that
