Submitted by hollyhoppet in Postmill

After thefempire.org finally kicked the bucket I've been using Postmill on its predecessor, jstpst, and we all really like the software! It's easy to work with and waaaay less bloated than reddit.

I've been making modifications on my own fork of the project and really appreciate how clear a lot of your code is to follow, despite never having never worked with twig or symfony. (The modifications are primarily cosmetic and to handle my deployment process to heroku.)

So yeah, thanks again for Postmill, we really like it and it has enabled our small community to thrive again.

I don't think I can overstate just how much postmill saved our community, and how excited we are to use it. Thank you so much Emma!!

We're having severe technical issues and it's currently inaccessible. We hope to get it back up, not to post there again but to grab all the history of stuff from it.

Yeah, I suspect that old reddit code, or some of the modifications made to it for the fempire, finally collapsed under the weight of the database or something. It's really hard to tell. Even if we had fixed it I wouldn't want to have worked on reddit code lmbo. A fresh start is pretty nice especially since we've slowly realigned over the years to be mainly a chill place to post.

It's great to have people other than emma working to improve the code finally.
