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?
There is a status page up on https://status.lemmy.world
We have been dealing with some DDOS attacks and are still taking extra measures to get everything more stable but we are working with people in different timezones so it’s not always as easy to react.
So yes, we are working on improving things.
Growing pains! I’m much happier here then elsewhere.
See, and that makes us happy
Perfect thank you!
Do you guys need help dealing with the security side? I can help depending on the need.
How good is your karate? I think they could use another security guard.
I can break boards with my face if I’m drunk enough. That counts right?
You’re in.
Hacker attacks, a tankie power mod, incel, /poltics being toxic. I think this site has really made it.
It feels good to be home
You guys have been doing an awesome job maintaining the site, keep it up 👍

Thanks!
Thanks for all your hard work!
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.
Use a different instance. That one is overloaded. Honestly I think they should close sign ups for a while.

This site was showing lemmy.world was down.
That is a handy site
Removed by mod
I abandoned lemmy.world for lemm.ee and I gotta say it is way better. No idea how to migrate though.
Removed by mod
I’ve used this tool to migrate subscriptions.
Removed by mod
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 requestsshould work.Then you can do
python3 lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini. Let me know if you run into any problems!Removed by mod
I bet replacing python3 with py will work:
py -m pip install --user requests py lemmy-migrate.py -c config.iniRemoved by mod
Did you try my suggestion in this comment?

I think your problem is that you aren’t pointing PowerShell at the right folder. You can use the
cdcommand to get to the right folder containing the python script and config file.
Is there a status page for the status page?
Neat. Bookmarking that for later
@PutangInaMo The instance is likely down. Luckily you can set up an alternate account on an alternate fediverse platform and browse your communities like nothing happened. That’s what I did.
The fediverse is so awesome.
No clue. But, thank you for unlocking a decade old memory of a Tagalog phrase I didn’t know I still knew.
lemmy.ml is also experiencing issues. both sites seems to have login disabled for almost 24 hours now. if they’re experiencing a DDoS attack, that would finally explain why.
Putangina mo!
Hey hey, I referenced this song a few weeks ago. lol
Haha that song had me going wild back in the day, forever changed my usernames.
Was down this morning for me
Just checking if this works as I’ve not been able to comment recently.
I load Lemmy in Thunder and web browser and I sometimes say your username everytime I see Cloudflare error, JSON error, or some other BS like “DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE”
I hope we won’t often see these intermittent errors in the future as they upgrade more at the back end and on the hardware.
Putangina mo!
