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

I just wanted to say that Lemmy.world has been much more stable for me lately, thanks!
I know a lot of people are putting in hard work to get here, so I hope you know your effort is being noticed.
Thanks for keeping us up to date, I don’t mind downtime personally as long as I’m aware of what’s going on
Hey, hire people that understands how the fediverse works. You’re welcome

Only thing that needs to be said here is: thank you for the best Lemmy instance (in my opinion) out there!

Could look into Dacentec if you need more cheap servers. I use them for my stuff. YMMV since you’re getting a hell of a lot more traffic than I am but they haven’t blocked Cloudflare on mine yet so that’s a plus. :)
I brows all, never noticed as outage lol.
Thanks for the transparency. I think you lost some trust with the Discord debacle, but this makes me feel a lot better about things.

Hetzner is a pretty good provider. It would be nice to stick with them if possible.
lol
Care to elaborate?
I’m a hetzner user for years and if they are bad I haven’t noticed yet.
nah lol
Good luck, no pressure.
As always, the transparency is appreciated. Some growing pains are certainly to be expected

Key is metal
Transparent Anuminium !!!
Xenonite?
So, by transitivity, transparency is metal?
We had an aquarium with transparent fishes, where you could see all their insides, that was pretty metal
So yeah i think we’re onto something here
Metal is conductive
Conductive is electric
Electric is magnetic
Electric, it is. See it, you cannot.
