All up for me (Frankfurt IP Address, FF nightly)

[–] Pro@mander.xyz 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I checked after seeing your comment:

  • .dev is still down for me.
  • Reddthat is back, but I am not sure if it's back for good or it will have problems later.

.dev is slow, but not down

Something something never buy a car from a mechanic.

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

Well it does make a significant difference for diagnosing; multiple being slow can mean they're just (D)DOS'd (eg. by scrapers), and the unaffected use Anubis, know the user agents, blocked the IPs etc.; down could mean that the latest lemmy update had a bug and is crashing.

You know, maybe you are just banned. Haha

Both seem up for me.

Load goes up with the number of users. So spikes in usage are effectively a distributed denial of service attack. Be sure to support your instance.

Europe.pub seemed to be down for a little while last night as well.

minnix.dev seems to have been abandoned:

!sbcs@lemux.minnix.dev

Admin hasn't posted in 5 months and images aren't working for me.

Got to admit, this is extremely annoying with the threadiverse, especially in context of people pushing for decentralization too much.

I am all for decentralization, but you need a functional, long-term foundation first.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To be fair, minnix.dev seems like a very marginal instance.

[–] Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah, it's pretty small, but it had a few tech communities that were neat.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 1 month ago

Super sad. I was posting there too

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago

I had some problems accessing my instance for a few minutes earlier today, but right now everything is working smoothly.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 4 points 1 month ago

Thought it was only for thelemmy.club but its rare and only happened for a hour or smth

Maybe inform Jerry Bell if this is a persistent issue.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

Already posted over there about it! :)

lemmy.org has been down for a while now, even. I just set up a new account on lemmy.wtf because I assume it might not come back at this point.

Update: lemmy.org is back up, for now, and hopefully it stays up this time, but I got an account set up on lemmy.wtf as a backup should lemmy.org become more unstable in the near future.
