has lemmy.world been going down these past few days or is it the app I use?

Submitted ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨PutangInaMo@lemmy.world⁩ to ⁨fediverse@lemmy.world⁩

For hours today, yesterday, and intermittently since I’ve been on here (a month or so) lemmy stops loading using jerboa, liftoff, and a web browser.

The site isn’t listed on any down detector I know of, and each app gives different errors but ultimately just won’t load.

It’s often enough that recently when I consider jumping on here I just don’t because there will probably be an issue. Ranging from not loading, JSON errors, or just blank screens and my comments not working…

What’s going on? Is there a status page for these places?

There is a status page up on https://status.lemmy.world

We have been dealing with some DDOS attacks and are still taking extra measures to get everything sorted out but we are working with people in different timezones so it’s not always as easy to react.

So yes, we are working on improving things.

  Growing pains! I’m much happier here then elsewhere.

  Perfect thank you!
  
  Do you guys need help dealing with the security side? I can help depending on the need.

  Hacker attacks, a tankie power mod, incel, /poltics being toxic. I think this site has really made it.

  Sorry for being a bit harsh, but I have little sympathy for the admins of lemmy.world. Instead of looking for ways to disperse the people around other instances, it seems that the people behind .world are rushing to grab mindshare and concentrate as many people as they can in their own servers.
  
  The threadiverse is not healthy when almost 50% of the active user base is in the same instance. The lemmy.ml admins basically shut down their instance for registration and said “please look elsewhere”. Why can’t you do the same?

There’s been a DOS attack against the site and its database. The admins said they were going to move over to CloudFlare for DDoS protection and yeah, I just checked, they’re getting served by CloudFlare now. Instability issues should go away.

I bailed on them for now and made an account on a much smaller instance so everything loads again. Thankfully with federation you can still see all the same content, you just need to set up subscriptions again on the new account if you choose to go that route.

  I suggested joining a new instance in another support thread.
  
  For some reason, even though it’s the whole philosophy behind federated networking, people didn’t like the idea.
  
  Is the mentality here degrading to levels of Reddit fanboy-ism? If so, I’m DEFINITELY gonna migrate

    I was really surprised by this too but yeah, people want to be on the same largest instance. I guess it’s a community feeling bundling that.

  I got a few new people on my instance that specifically said they wanted a smaller instance while Lemmy.world had issues.
  
  I think there are like 1100+ instances now. No reason to hang out on the largest one unless you absolutely have to.

    My list of blocked porn communities is more than double my list of subscribed communities; reblocking would be the biggest pill.

  That’s been one of the biggest drawbacks for me personally. Who wants to go through collecting all of these communities, just to have the server crash and be forced to re-collect on a different instance? It’s very cumbersome, right now, and I hope that eventually it can be a bit more seamless somehow.

    There are tools available to migrate accounts, like this one for example: github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate
    
    But it has some limitations like your private messages will not be transferred.

I have also been having issues with lemmy.world on Memmy

  Memmy in general could have an issue with the push notifications. I contacted the devs about this earlier today.

@PutangInaMo The instance is likely down. Luckily you can set up an alternate account on an alternate fediverse platform and browse your communities like nothing happened. That's what I did.
The fediverse is so awesome.

I load Lemmy in Thunder and web browser and I sometimes say your username everytime I see Cloudflare error, JSON error, or some other BS like “DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE”

I hope we won’t often see these intermittent errors in the future as they upgrade more at the back end and on the hardware.
