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?
First, edit the .ini file with your lemmy servers, usernames and passwords.
Then make sure you have python interpreter with requests installed. You can check this with python3 -m pip show requests. if it says something like package not found, you should look into how to install python requests on your operatation system. If you downloaded it from python.org, python3 -m pip install --user requests should work.
Then you can do python3 lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini. Let me know if you run into any problems!
I abandoned lemmy.world for lemm.ee and I gotta say it is way better. No idea how to migrate though.
Use a different instance. That one is overloaded. Honestly I think they should close sign ups for a while.
No clue. But, thank you for unlocking a decade old memory of a Tagalog phrase I didn’t know I still knew.
There’s been a DOS attack against the site and its database. The admins said they were going to move over to CloudFlare for DDoS protection and yeah, I just checked, they’re getting served by CloudFlare now. Instability issues should go away.
