As you reading are undoubtedly aware now, the Lemmy.one instance experienced a massive failure this weekend. Unfortunately the data was not in a recoverable state, so the server was restored from a July 26th backup, and data after that time is likely lost.
Since this occurred while I was out of town, I haven’t had the time to collect all the details of what happened, so I will have to post more information at a later time.
My biggest concern was that there was no way to find information about what was going on. Your Mastodon had no information.
There was a thread on Lemmy support about it and some people thought the instance was gone forever.
I’m in the same boat as you. Although I was told to check http://lemmy-status.org/ to see the status of the instance, truth is I didn’t know if Lemmy.one was ever going to be up again.
I had no idea this existed!
I got confused, and ended up making an alternative account in another instance. Glad Ido not have to worry about it, but redundancy is a virtue.
With each day with no news I started considering making another lemmy account in case this one didn’t come back. I didn’t know which one to make my new home though, since I liked privacyguides run one the best.
I think this is a wonderful instance and I am happy to be in it.
I hope it stays stable.
Yeah really would be good to have a separatly hosted status page or something, but I understand that is a luxury. Considering Jonah has freely volunteered to host it’s hard to complain.
its not a luxury a mastodon account is free
Thank you for your work! No one is expecting you to be always available, considering this is voluntary work you are doing.
@jonah can this post be unpinned? Don’t think I need it at the top of my feed anymore :)
Why is this still pinned?
Thanks for getting it back up.
Can we please remove this as a pin?
Just another appreciation comment here. Thank you! Glad it was just temporary, and hope it doesn’t cause you too much stress.
ty 4 ur work 🙏 look after yourself.
Thank you for your work! I’m glad everything is back up and running.
Thank you for your hard work none-the-less.
I had a feeling it was just that. I heard rumbles about some type of issue in the lemmy software itself; although I don’t know the exact details. It appears similar problems happened to other instances as well; so don’t take it too hard…several massive instances did in fact crash.
I noticed lemmy.world started displaying the same server error as lemmy.one a day or so after (I switched over to that instance after this one had issues).
…And lemmy.world just went down again.
hey man thanks for pulling the instance back up i got attached to this account. if you need some admin help hit me up
Unpin this. It’s 3 months old.
Does anyone know why this is still showing up at the top of my “active” feed?
I think that’s because it’s pinned by the instance admin - if you unsub from this meta community it should disappear from your feed
Glad to be back; Thanks, man!
What’s up with browsing lemmy.world? Did it de-federate from us here or is it a syncing issue?
[Edit]Fine now
It seems that lemmy.world is expirencing server issues so thats likely it
Thanks for the hard work and expense of hosting. Appreciate it
