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 tried refreshing lemmy.world and Cloudflare blocked me:

I'm officially a bot now I guess.

Edit: But more on the topic, they have been plagued by DDoS attacks recently so my guess is it's more of the same.

A bit more specific to Lemmy world.

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?

[–] favrion@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Apparently not. I had no warning.

[–] spleenfiesta@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

At least we got other instances, so we can keep scrolling lol

Other comments seem to indicate it's not a planned outage but just the server getting too many hits.

Lemmy.one is down too. That’s where all my subscriptions are :(

[–] jordanlund@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Same for lemmy.one the past few days. I set up a kbin account to keep going. :(
