Hey everyone, so as I’m sure everyone is aware Lemmy.World has been experiencing several outages throughout the last few days.
We have been investigating the root cause of these outages but believe that they are related to our current hosting provider (Hetzner) blocking access from ClouldFlare as (we think) they believe that our CDN is a DDoS’er, and is causing these disconnects to our backend server, problematic for sure.
We’ve opened support tickets with our current provider and are awaiting a response. We have no issue with being as transparent as possible with downtime. Anyone that is curious, can feel free to check out https://status.lemmy.world and https://dash.lemmy.world for up to the minute outage information. We are also looking into other fediverse friendly methods of posting status and outage updates
In the meantime, we are evaluating alternative hosting options and solutions to provide a high level of reliability to you, our users. Really, we want to say thanks to everyone for soldiering through all our technical growing pains.
Cheers
- LW Infra Team
I never noticed outages stopping
I am in the same boat. If it were not for these posts, I’d have never noticed lemmy world was down.
If I post to, or put a comment on something from lemmy world, it will just federate over when it’s back online.
If someone posts to something on lemmy world, it will eventually federate over my way.
But, hey, everyone is gonna fuss when they decided to put all of their eggs in one basket and now, that one basket gets targeted. (metaphor for lemmy world.)
