It looks like they just had a brief backend resource outage. It appears to be back up and fully accessible now.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Bummer.

…why?
As a .world user, if you read this, it’s back up ^^
I have a NSFW account and I thought I was posting from that when I saw this haha
The post was federated to .world. I think you aeing it shows that is back up and running.
And nothing of value was lost
Debatable, im valuable. Everyone is valuable to somebody.
… Even if its for a political scapegoat. Valuable i say!
haha coming from a nexus user
Lemmy.world is gone? What happened/is happening?
outbound federation was down here for a bit. meme is kinda out of context now since it’s working again lol
I’m not dead yet!
You’ll be stone dead in a moment.
I don’t want to go in the cart!
I feel happy!
Are you sure?
sigh
what is it this time?
Selfhosting, yeah!
actually selfhosting lemmy kinda sucks don’t bother unless you have to
do you mind expanding on why it sucks?
I don’t selfhost lemmy, but I was thinking about it
Federation is kinda clunky, there is no way to see content posted before you federated, same with upvotes, so top of all time is different across communities. But most annoying of all is that to see the communities you have to paste the full link into search. Big instances can rely on some of the users doing it but for single user instance you have to go to bigger instances and see their list of communities and copy-paste the links into your instance search bar, otherwise you cant see any new posts from those.
In my own experience, it’s clunky and can be a pain to get running, even when using a docker. The Federation also can be a bit iffy at times.
.world user here. What did I miss now? Is it possible to migrate my account to another instance?
Just make a new account. Its not like there is any advantage to migrating an account.
Nope, unless maybe if you run your own or are friends with an admin.
…but what exactly happened? Do I even need to switch…?
Isn’t there an export / import feature to aid in moving to a different instance?
Man I just use this because Reddit is bullshit. What’s wrong with lemmy.world?
For the same reasons Reddit sucks. They got too large and they think they’re in charge of Lemmy now. The staff there have a lot of issues, and they think they can use their power to control Lemmy. I’d recommend leaving, because users being spread out is what makes Lemmy resistant to the issues that made Reddit horrible. It’s fairly easy to change instances.
Aww what happened ?
Productivity drops to zero the moment the drama starts 😂
