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

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?

Eh, it’s only a tiny fraction of what the userbase will be eventually, so unless other instances fail to step up the “problem” will solve itself.

It’s not lemmy.world’s fault that people like it.
