My biggest concern was that there was no way to find information about what was going on. Your Mastodon had no information.

There was a thread on Lemmy support about it and some people thought the instance was gone forever.

Thank you for your work! No one is expecting you to be always available, considering this is voluntary work you are doing.

@jonah can this post be unpinned? Don’t think I need it at the top of my feed anymore :)

Why is this still pinned?

Can we please remove this as a pin?

Thanks for getting it back up.

Unpin this. It's 3 months old.

Does anyone know why this is still showing up at the top of my "active" feed?

Uptime robot can provide both monitoring and status page for the user. Could be an option?

If something where to happen I think a message could be added to the status page as well.

Just another appreciation comment here. Thank you! Glad it was just temporary, and hope it doesn't cause you too much stress.

Thank you for your hard work none-the-less.

I had a feeling it was just that. I heard rumbles about some type of issue in the lemmy software itself; although I don't know the exact details. It appears similar problems happened to other instances as well; so don't take it too hard...several massive instances did in fact crash.

Thank you for your hard work! I love this instance the best.

Glad to be back; Thanks, man!

What's up with browsing lemmy.world? Did it de-federate from us here or is it a syncing issue?

[Edit]Fine now

I never used mastodon so much in my life.

Thanks for the hard work and expense of hosting. Appreciate it

ty 4 ur work 🙏 look after yourself.

Thank you for your work! I'm glad everything is back up and running.

Welcome back! We were all terribly worried about the outage and the radio silence. Thanks for posting up an explanation!

Are new signups not being accepted? It's been nearly a week since I applied. I thought I answered the questions appropriately. Other instances accepted relatively quickly, within a couple of days.

And there is lies the point of failure. If we generate posts and so on...will they also disappear if a particular lemmy server disappears?

I’m just glad it’s back up. Thanks for the hard work.

Thanks for all you do! Can someone (either you or someone that knows) post a link to your funding page? I've been meaning to set up a donation since this is my preferred instance but haven't got around to it. Missing it all. Weekend is a good reminder!

Is it me, or are some of our comments missing? I feel like I made some comments on another server, but they are not there. I guess I don't understand how this works.
By the way, thanks for your help.
