The instance has been down several times over the past few days?

Is there some ongoing maintenance, or are we doomed to face the same as feddit.uk?

    I have noticed sometimes posting a comment will take longer but I just swap apps for a few when that happens.

      I use phtn.app mainly, and when encountering issues, I double-check lemmy.world

    World is probably overwhelmed again. I switched from world because of frequent outages. I don’t think you have to worry about UK scenario however, since the problem there was that the instance owner went awol.

    That reads like a statement but you’re asking a question.

    I don’t think lemmy.world is going anywhere, but I keep this lemmy.ca account as a backup just in case of .world outages. It’s been coming in handy the last couple of days.

      Actually, I’m more used to the big sites going down, than small ones, but considering the fact that they are well-fed to come back online, compared to volunteer projects, just gave me some concerns

        I totally understand, and it’s a valid concern. Without knowing anything about the admins who run this instance, it’s entirely possible that monitoring isn’t in place, or it is in place but notifications aren’t setup, or that is the case but people can’t respond to problems because they are at their day job, or they are responding to problems but solving those problems takes hours… I’m speaking from personal experience running smaller projects for others. I was always very thankful to have users who understood these concerns, and I guess I try to gently remind users about the realities of the volunteer-run projects.

      I literally remember when sites like Reddit, Amazon, and even Google went down. We’re so used to crazy uptimes that it’s easy to forget that real servers and infrastructure have real problems.

      Nope! Ever since I’m actively here, it hasn’t. That’s why it raised some concerns.

          It eventually came back online, and the people behind the new one don’t want to share the new instance until it’s “ready”. I don’t understand it either.

            Feddit.uk went down for a bit and no one knows why. We’re seemingly back now though.

            There is only one fully privileged admin (the original owner), and they’re not super present. We have two other admins but they’re restricted in what they can do (don’t have access to the server itself I think?, can’t upgrade).

            A couple of users are setting up a new UK lemmy instance in response to this situation. One of those users is very keen for it to be a replacement, hence the posts. Not everyone is on board with it though. It’s been put in hold while they iron some things out.

            It’s not an “official” replacement for feddit.uk in that sense, but it’s another UK instance.

      Dude, why’d you call me a nonce? Can’t you just use normal insults like idiot or moron.

      btw, since english isn’t my first language I had to look it up with the expectation of it meaning something funny like a donkey… but that’s just a disgusting language.

    I have other concerns about lemmy world, you might want to look for another instance and see how you like it.
