Announcements (vger.social)
Hey there! [Voyager for Lemmy](https://getvoyager.app) dev here. As I've been adding more mod and admin feature to Voyager, I've realized that self-hosting my own Lemmy instance may help me improve Lemmy moderation and administration in Voyager. But I had another thought: Why not open up registration to Voyager supporters? It's a win-win: I get more real-world experience administrating a Lemmy instance, and Voyager supporters get a fun additional benefit! Introducing https://vger.social :) ## Q&A - Q: Who can sign up? A: **Those who donate any amount on a monthly basis, or those who have contributed a few PRs to Voyager** - Q: How do you track donations? A: **It's the honor system.** - Q: Will Voyager keep support for other Lemmy instances? A: **Of course! Nothing is changing there, vger.social is just another Lemmy instance.** - Q: Will vger.social work with other Lemmy apps? A: **Absolutely! It's just a vanilla Lemmy instance.** ## Why use vger.social - Guaranteed compatibility with Voyager - Low user count = snag a better username - It's well-federated, including https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy - General purpose instance hosted on US East Coast (potentially a pro or con for you, but faster response times for users in USA than lemmy.world) - Rules against bigotry, hate and harassment (see sidebar) - Hopefully better stability against any future influx of Lemmy users, compared to larger Lemmy instances - Star Trek fans welcome I guess lol ## Quick disclaimer While I hope this instance is around for the long run, it is new, and therefore still experimental. If vger.social does shut down, I will give everyone at least 60 days notice.
