Instance management is a much more important commitment than moderation, though.

It's important but it isn't a huge amount of work, especially if you have a good team to spread the load.

It also helps that I am running a managed instance hosting business, and I should be more comfortable doing this than the average hobbyist?

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 3 points 5 months ago

Yes, I'd imagine there are efficiencies to doing that - we inherited a thriving medium-sized instance so, despite one of the team having spun up their own Lemmy instance, there was a lot of "learning on the job" required to get everything humming along nicely. I imagine that, with more experience it becomes easier.

On the other hand, having a lot of instances managed by you increase the impact in case something happens

I guess we could. For soccer.forum, as I said, it's too close to the Euro for a migration, we can maybe revisit later?

But actually I just remembered there was https://fanaticus.social/
