I believe (might be wrong!) there was literally one guy working on it so anything in their personal situation could be the reason

It’s hard enough to find a good alternative, let alone a FOSS one… So sad to see KC and SUMO go…

I think it just auto-discovers federated instances and randomly shows them on the page unless explicitly disabled…

/s Sorry, I had to 🤣

The website that you visit (as in your Lemmy instance) does log your IP address to fight abuse etc. Afaik it’s not sent to other instances, so unless the server admin sells it somewhere (which they shouldn’t but I guess you never know - that’s why some folks host their own instance), it shouldn’t leave the server.

Obviously that doesn’t mean your IP is not logged by external services embedded in the Lemmy UI you’re using - be that ads, video players, etc

Considering there is a Debian 12 based version available and the latest Ubuntu-based one is 22.04, it does look like they’re moving towards Debian. They don’t seem to be the only one to do it, I’ve heard Linux Mint team is supposed to make LMDE their main distro at some point in future as well

Hey, at least it’s “warn”, not “block”, right?

Right?
