Why do the instances keep going down? It makes me think that this is not a reliable social network, but the alternatives are not as good.
I’ve started a 2nd account on another instance just for situations like that.
Isn’t that spamming though?
The Lemmy.world server runs on a 16mhz 386dx and has 16mb of ram. It just does that sometimes.
It temporarily goes down when the laptop gets moved to another Starbucks location.
I think there was a new version of lemmy released so the instance may be in the process of being updated.
It’s definitely bad if you can’t use a service you’d like to use but one has to remember that this isn’t run by someone with millions of dollars at their fingertips. And the reason for that is simple: This service doesn’t exploit it’s users.
I was actually scrolling through to see if anyone posted anything about the outage hahaha. Do they make announcement posts to warn about an outage for Lemmy version updates?
Apparently not. I had no warning.
At least we got other instances, so we can keep scrolling lol
Lemmy.one is down too. That’s where all my subscriptions are :(
