@eeyam Hey, just to confirm the site isn't going anywhere now. I'd always recommend backing up your data to be safe but I can confirm the site is here for the long term now

@auscandoc I'm wondering if it's a weird thing with the App store, I know iOS and Apple made some changes to make subscriptions difficult and more expensive. I have just sent Patreon a support case asking them for some guidance on how to fix this as I think I do have the money from the annual subscription as a purchase but obviously it's silly if you aren't able to actually get the benefits of supporting by seeing the very few posts I have time to make!

@auscandoc As far as I can see it is enabled on my end, Patreon isn't a site I have a huge amount of experience with so it's quite possible I'm doing something entirely wrong, I am not sure if it's one of those stupid things where you have to sign up monthly and then change to yearly or how it would have worked with other folks you support on Patreon?

Apologies, I'm sure it is something I've missed or can't explain properly!

@rvaughnmd I do hope so. Let me know if anything seems to be broken and I'll see if I can get it sorted

@flcardiacnurse We are back online and here to stay!

If you'd like to move your follower / following relationships @FediTips has a great guide here - https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server/ which should help and mean you get to keep everyone connected!

@auscandoc No worries at all, I'm always pleased to be able to support and help keep Fedi instances online and operational.

Right now I have no idea how contributions were managed / provided before I took over but going forward if you would like to provide any financial support these are the two routes I have setup which will help fund the instance in the future:
