Hello all,
That time of the week again, and wow, what a quiet week! Which is really nice in retrospect because I’ve been able to chill out and enjoy Lemmy for a bit!
In case you want to see how this instance has developed, have a look at the previous parts.
There isn’t much to add this week, but I’ll add the usual bits and bobs for people to have a look at.
TL;DR
- Donations - We now accept Crypto!
- Interaction - No lurking please!
- Stats - Graphs ‘n’ stuff
Donations
I’ve had a few people ask if we can accept crypto donations, and now I can finally say yes, we do accept them. I’ve added the details in the side bar, but I’ll put them here as well:
BTC Address

ETH Address
0x07e0102D3Ab219847f0303ca365d295F737D9315
Monero Address

Any crypto donations will be converted to fiat and added to the the OpenCollective website, which we’re keeping updated with expenses so we can be as transparent as possible with funding. If you feel you want to donate, please be assured every single bit goes to keeping the server going (and if we are financially secure enough, we’ll be upgrading the server for better performance).
Anyone who does donate will get their name in the Thank You Thread. If you use your real name and want me to put your Lemmy.zip username instead, please send me a PM and I’ll update it ASAP.
Interaction
Welcome to all new Lemmy.zip users! I think we’ve had lots of lemmy.world refugees recently, so I hope you’re enjoying your time on this instance. If you’re new to Lemmy altogether, welcome to the fediverse!
Each week I post a reminder to new and existing users that interaction is what keeps Lemmy growing. An upvote here, a quick comment there… it all goes to keeping Lemmy growing.
If you see content you like, please interact with it!
Stats
Time for pretty pictures!
CPU usage over the last week.
Some network related graphs:
Image storage - Agonizingly close to 100gb of stored images.
Cloudflare Usage over the last 7 days
And finally, visitors from around the world:
USA firmly back on top, Finland falling behind Germany!
Thats it for this week. Next week will probably be my last one before Starfield is released and I move into a gaming cave and don’t emerge for 3 months :)

I’ve got a question. I’ve tried subscribing to communities on other instances, but it always does as perpetually pending subscription. Some for longer than a month now. What does it mean and does it affect anything?
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1315
That’s a known issue I believe. Though you should be effectively subscribed but can’t unsub.
I’ve had this happen to me a couple times. The easy fix was to log on to your account on the web version of Lemmy, unsubscribe from the community, then resubscribe again and refresh the browser page. That did the trick for me. I’ve been told it’s a visual bug, but it did seem to impact my home feed.
Can you let me know which communities?
I’m not OP but I’ve had this happen to me, I’m pretty new to lemmy so I just assumed I had to be approved or something of sort, one of the communities for example would be [email protected]
For more details not sure if it will help I’m using Jerboa on mobile so maybe that’s why.
Yeah, I’ll have to look it up actually cuz I just realized they don’t show up on my subscribed list. But right of the top off my head is the Portland community
[email protected]
Thanks - I tried myself and it did the usual “pending” then I refreshed the page and it changed to joined. If its still saying pending for you, are you able to press pending again to get it to cancel the request and try subscribing again?
Yeah I’ve been trying since I joined this instance with no luck. But let me give it a shot again
Seems to be working for that community now. I wonder if all it took was someone else also joining?
I did from my instance and it worked without problems, if I am not wrong
