Where to Find tny.lv's Status Page and Community Channels

Updated

The tny.lv homepage footer links directly to the service's status page, community chat room, Mastodon, and forum, plus the adminForge FOSS services list and a donation page. All of these are reachable from the single landing page at tny.lv — there is no separate portal or account area to navigate to first.

Official Entry Point

tny.lv is a sovereign short-link service run by adminForge, built on YOURLS. The landing page is where you both shorten links and find the support and community links.

  • Main URL: tny.lv
  • Operator: adminForge (created by Giebel.IT)
  • Language toggle: EN / DE available at the top of the page

The page states the service runs with no tracking, no logging, and no advertising — relevant context if you are choosing a shortener partly on privacy grounds.

Status Page

The footer includes a Status Page link, which is where you check whether the service is currently available. Use it when a shortened link fails to resolve or the shortening form does not respond, before assuming the problem is on your end.

Community Channels

Three community channels are listed in the footer:

Channel What it is for
Community Chat Room Informal, real-time questions and discussion
Mastodon Updates and public posts from the operator
Forum Longer-form discussion and support threads

If you need to report an outage or ask about a specific link, the forum or chat room is the more direct route; Mastodon is better for following announcements.

Related adminForge Links

The same footer also exposes the wider adminForge ecosystem:

  • FOSS Services — the list of other free and open-source services adminForge runs
  • Donate — a donation entry for supporting the service
  • Legal — Imprint and Privacy Policy pages

Practical Notes

  • The footer is the only navigation shown on the landing page, so scroll to the bottom if the links are not immediately visible.
  • Because the service is a YOURLS instance, the status page reflects the availability of that shortener, not a broader platform.
  • No pricing or login requirement is indicated on the page; treat account features as unconfirmed unless the operator states otherwise.
