Was it left open + maybe in a humid area? Brittle usually means wet filament.

UI missing icons/actions.. e.g. no up/down vote, reply, etc. Did a recent Lemmy release try to do something fancy?
Are you providing a support contract long term? Are you backed by multiple people in case you're away and their business is down? I say this more figuratively than specifically you, this could also apply to their internal IT guy who wants to do this.
I'd strongly suggest deferring to a local business IT services company, unless you're an active partner in the business. They should find a company they are comfortable with and trust, then use the products they recommend and are comfortable with.

Hey all,
Today, I’m writing to share our intention to join Fedecan, a Canadian not-for-profit organization committed to supporting the Fediverse. We believe this partnership will foster collaboration among like-minded individuals who share a common goal: to create a safe, welcoming space where people can connect freely.
Together we will help deliver a fast, reliable, and consistent experience for all and continue to be free from corporate influence and guided by the values of openness, community, and trust.
Who is Fedecan
Fedecan is a registered non-profit organization based in Canada, with the goal to provide a safe and welcoming space for people to connect with each other on the Fediverse. More information can be found here.
You may also know them by their Canadian lemmy instance lemmy.ca.
What does this mean for sh.itjust.works?
From the outside everything will stay much the same, especially with the admin team. Internally, we will collaborate on tasks related to non-profit compliance, policies, banking and common infrastructure elements such as backup/disaster recovery infrastructure. We will continue to operate separate equipment and instances in geographically isolated locations under different names. We will work towards aligning on safety and security practices in order to ensure that data is secure.
From an organizational structure, sh.itjust.works will fall under the Fedecan umbrella and will share common bylaws, policies, methodologies on best practices, security and legal considerations.
Where do donations go?
Donations to sh.itjust.works will continue to support our mission and objectives exclusively. However, users will also have the option to donate directly to Fedecan, which will allocate funds amongst its projects including sh.itjust.works. Operational costs related to running the non-profit will be shared among projects and these expenses will be transparently disclosed in annual reports published on the Fedecan website.
Option to withdrawal
sh.itjust.works will have the right to withdraw from the Fedecan umbrella should our mutual goals no longer be aligned. In such a case, a predefined provision and action plan will be in place to ensure a smooth transition back to independence.
Why Now?
As the Fediverse continues to grow, we believe it's important to collaborate more closely with others who share our values. Joining Fedecan allows us to do just that, strengthening our operation through a non-profit while staying true to our mission.
Timeline / Next Steps
Over the coming weeks, we'll begin the process of integrating with Fedecan on the organization side. You won't notice many changes but we'll keep you informed throughout the process.
Looking Ahead
We’re excited about this next chapter and the opportunities it brings. By joining forces, we’re reinforcing our commitment to the Fediverse and to the principles that brought us all together in the first place—openness, community, transparency, and trust.
Our core mission remains unchanged. We're still independent in spirit and practice and we remain committed to being a space that's not driven by profit, but by people.
I invite your questions or concerns on this thread or on our https://matrix.to/#/#sh.itjust.works:matrix.org)
Stay connected,
--The sh.itjust.works and Fedecan Team

Sync isn't well updated / supported and I'd recommend moving to another client. I was a long time sync user so I found it hard, but I personally settled on Thunder https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hjiangsu.thunder&hl=en_CA
