Lemmy Federate has migrated to FHF

Hello everyone,

as of today, lemmy-federate.com has been handed over to the Fedihosting Foundation, the foundation behind Lemmy.World, PieFed.World and other Fediverse instances.

During the migration, the table containing information about communities that were successfully subscribed already has unfortunately been lost. It looks like this is already slowly starting to get backfilled, but it will likely take some time to catch up on all communities.

All other data has been migrated successfully, and we don't expect any other complications from this.

The Git repository for the version running on lemmy-federate.com is now located at https://github.com/Fedihosting-Foundation-Forks/lemmy-federate. If you plan to submit pull requests, please target that repository from now on.

Just like before, Lemmy Federate is welcoming PR contributions for for improvements, like adding PieFed support, which is something a lot of instances are interested in. If you're interested in giving this a shot, one option proposed by @iso@lemy.lol was to integrate https://github.com/aeharding/threadiverse as library for interacting with Fediverse instances to simplify the logic within Lemmy Federate for supporting more software.

The new primary community for Lemmy Federate is !lemmyfederate@lemmy.world.

Big thanks to @iso@lemy.lol for creating and running this service until now!
