If I remember correctly, the instance owner vanished but left the instance running.
Secondary admins kept the place running until something happened to the instance itself. Something with the database that the admin didn’t have access to recover from.
I believe it was that secondary admin that spun up the new instance.
Sorry that’s vague but about to get ready for work.
Original admin went AWOL, other admin couldn’t access server. Second admin couldn’t get ahold of first admin, eventually server went down. Second admin started new NSFW instance.
Then they somehow got everything back (maybe original admin replied to messages), and so the old site went up again as an archive.
Nsfw is gone? Can you tell me more? Did it just disappear? I noticed a lot less porn in my feed so I guess that explains that.

Thats good enough, thank you for the info.

It went down a couple of weeks ago. It was weird to think of an Internet community without porn. Another instance got spun up a week or two later.
As for why, I don’t know.

Interesting, thank you!
