  • even my current instance seems to rarely go down today.

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

[–] Pro@mander.xyz 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 day 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

[–] Blaze@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

Same here

[–] bacon_pdp@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 14 points 2 days ago

Both seem up for me.

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 8 points 2 days ago

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 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 2 days ago

Super sad. I was posting there too

[–] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 3 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

fedia.io is being slow.

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe inform Jerry Bell if this is a persistent issue.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 3 points 2 days ago

Already posted over there about it! :)
