Blaze (he/him)Lemmy.one still down - does someone has any news?
CMahaffAnother thread linked to this post which has some digging / speculation into what may have gone wrong: lemdit.com/post/262746
lemmy.one is suffering an extended outage - lemdit.com
lemmy.one has been down for a while now. I’ve personally noticed that it hasn’t been working for over 24 hours, some comments suggest it may be longer than that: [https://lemdit.com/pictrs/image/2036cec9-edbc-455f-9209-1a9fcdf4a39e.png] lemmy.one is one of the larger Lemmy instances, with around 7.3k users [https://the-federation.info/node/details/49982]. The site does load, however it displays a Lemmy error. This shows that the Lemmy UI is still there and working, but the Lemmy back-end server process is not. Based on this, it doesn’t look similar to the disappearance of vlemmy.net [https://lemdit.com/post/38958] and it’s most likely just a technical issue. #### So what is going on? My guess is there are 3 likely scenarios for what went wrong: - The Lemmy server process crashed (it’s known to happen from time to time) - This is an update gone wrong (the latest Lemmy update in particular is tricky as it requires a DB migration). - Some other mysterious event messed up the DB This is a very long time to be struggling with a technical issue and the lack of communication is concerning. It could be that: - The admin is just not available to deal with it right now due to real life reasons. - The DB is now a mess and the Lemmy server process can’t be restarted. I expect they have regular DB back-ups like everyone else and would’ve rolled back to a previous snapshot by now. I think the most likely scenario is that the admin just isn’t available to deal with it. To fix this requires actual server access, so even though lemmy.one had several Lemmy admins, it’s unlikely that all of them have the required access to deal with this issue. It would be interesting to hear if anyone managed to get in touch with lemmy.one’s admin.
Thanks for sharing!
Sorry for the people having their main accounts there
1984What constitutes a main account?
Why not have several with the same subscriptions?
bauhaussyncing subscriptions between multiple accounts isn’t easy
Want help? I could write you a tool if you want, which would list your subs on all instances and show any differences. Literally can be done within a day.
that’s… that’s incredibly generous of you!
let me ask a few questions
thanks!
I was thinking just a command line tool, where you could have a config file to put your instances in. Then it would simply use the Lemmy Api and list your subscriptions for each instance.
It would maybe be harder to keep things synchronized but depends on the api. If it’s possible to subscribe to communities from the api, it would be easy.
I’ve been wanting to make something with Go to learn it better, so this could be a nice project.
Of course it would be open source. :)
I will look into it a bit next weekend…
awesome! let me know!
Thanks for that offer!
No problem at all. I’m itching for some project and actually got started with something like this in Go anyway to learn it better. :) We will see what comes out of it…
densityI can't wait til people start working on more tools to interface with lemmy/kbin. Soon the package managers will be full of clients, libraries, interfaces, scripts etc.
not at all meaning to be discouraging, but to solve anything at scale it will all have to be available in a browser or mobile client somehow. luckily with open source different people can work from different angles. :)
There are several projects along these lines. Here’s one of them:
Yeah I thought so, it’s not so complicated. This one looka nice.
Here are a couple more:
this is awesome! thanks!
That’d be nice
And it’s not just subscriptions. It’s also my saved posts.
