As announced when Billboard was launched, blendit.bsd.cafe, our Lemmy instance, is now shut down.
Managing it had become too demanding, and several technical issues had repeatedly suggested that it should be retired.
I will delete everything shortly, keeping only a backup for a while.

Retiring BlendIT: the BSD Cafe's Lemmy instance
After careful consideration, I've decided to retire BlendIT, our Lemmy instance, effective 1st May 2026.
This is not a decision I take lightly. Every service at the BSD Cafe is something I care about, and shutting one down always feels like closing a table in the bar. But part of being a responsible barista is knowing when something isn't working - for us.
Lemmy is a valid and interesting piece of software, and I have respect for the project and the people behind it. However, managing it in a context like the BSD Cafe has proven to be more difficult than I can sustain. The resource demands, particularly around media storage and retention, grow in ways that are hard to control, and the maintenance overhead has become significant for what is, ultimately, a community-run infrastructure with limited resources. There are also concerns around GDPR compliance, as the software's approach to media retention makes it difficult to ensure that data is handled and removed in accordance with European regulations.
On top of that, we now have Billboard, a federated forum that fits naturally into the BSD Cafe's ecosystem. With Billboard available, maintaining two overlapping solutions for the same purpose no longer makes sense. Rather than spreading our energy thin, I'd rather focus on what works best for us.
None of this is a judgment on Lemmy as a project - it simply isn't the right fit for us, here, now.
If you have content on BlendIT that you'd like to save, please do so before 1st May. After that date, the instance will be permanently shut down and its data removed.
Thank you to everyone who used and contributed to BlendIT.
The table is closing, but the bar is very much open - and there's always room at the counter.
Stefano, your Barista

Today, we're introducing three things.
The first one is a forum. A real forum - with categories, threads, and actual conversations that don't disappear in a timeline after six minutes.
The second is a Fediverse platform. Fully federated, ActivityPub-native. Your posts go out, the world's posts come in. No walled gardens, no algorithms, no tricks.
The third is a Bar. A place to sit down, talk to strangers who happen to care about the same weird things you do, and stay as long as you want.
A forum. A Fediverse platform. A bar.
Are you getting it?
These are not three separate things. This is one thing.And we're calling it Billboard.
And no, we checked the calendar. We know. This is not an April Fools' joke.
We're just really bad at timing.
