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?

    I've used this tool to migrate subscriptions.

    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 requests should work.

    Then you can do python3 lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini. Let me know if you run into any problems!

    I bet replacing python3 with py will work:

    py -m pip install --user requests
    py lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini

    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 cd command to get to the right folder containing the python script and config file.
