I've contacted them to see if they would be willing to transfer it to us. Figured I'd have better luck as a Lemmy admin then just someone random. The domain name is under $20 a year so it's a non issue.
We can put it in place as a internal policy. I'm 99% confident all admins on Lemmy.ca are using complex password generators, that are hopefully not LastPass with their history of being hacked 😅
Edit: yeah I'm tired. It's like 3 hours post bed time. I'm supposed to be at work in just over 5 hours.
At this point I'm monitoring inter-instance communications channels non stop even though I should be in bed. I will be temporarily removing admins that have not responded to my inquiry to confirm if they have 2FA authentication turned on as initial access appears to have been gained due to lack of 2FA.
Thank you for the warm welcome. As @Smorks said there are many others behind the scenes that may or may not show up in the admin list over the next while.
We are currently actively preparing to transition the instance to a new dedicated server by the end of the weekend at the latest. We hope this higher powered server will be sufficient for the next few months but are ready with plans to scale up further when needed.
Unfortunately this means that there maybe some short periods of downtime over the weekend. We will make a post announcing planned downtime.
Test it out and report back. The instance is being moved to a much beefier dedicated server this weekend so if it's not currently working, we will make sure we enable that as part of the migration to the new server or soon after.
