Because the resources required to run it will soon exceed the capacity of the server, and I don't want to upgrade it further. Plenty of better alternatives out there for people.
I'll be permanently shutting down lemmy.click on Tuesday 11th July 2023. Any users still here should sign up [elsewhere](https://join-lemmy.org/instances). [This](https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim) may be of use to migrate your settings to a new instance.

Looks like memory exhaustion may be what kills the site. The lemmy database is using more and more RAM, will see how long it works for...
I'll be shutting down lemmy.click, I don't know exactly when. The database continues to grow, and I'm not going to upgrade the VPS any further. I'll leave it running until the disk fills, which I expect to be in the next few weeks:  I suggest everyone interested in continuing to use Lemmy find an alternate instance to call home. There are many more to [choose from](https://join-lemmy.org/instances) since lemmy.click was created. I apologise for the inconvenience, lemmy.click was within the first 100 Lemmy instances. At the time I spun it up, growth was much slower.
