I haven't gotten any 504 errors that I can recall, but the entire Fediverse, and even the entire Internet, often comes under attack by things like bot scraping DNS attempts these days.

Here we are not the big boys like Google, Facebook, etc. to swat them aside so easily with our dedicated (and paid) team of expert professional IT support professionals.

These Fediverse instances are more like hobbies, outside of the largest ones like Lemmy.World, so some small amounts of downtime is to be expected.

Edit: the Fediverse Explorer shows uptime stats if you are interested - e.g. PieFed.ca shows 99.63%, which is exactly in-line with the other most populated ones. Hint: sort by decreasing Active Users to see that it is the #3 most popular PieFed instance.

Could it be the big boys don't want minnows in the market ??🤔🤔🤔

It very well could be, yes. Or else simply do not care one way or another. That is a large problem with the current state of AI is how irresponsibly it is very often trained - i.e. ignoring the concept of consent, as the scrapers e.g. disregard the robots.txt declarations.

Thanks for that link. Piefed.ca is working fine.
