Sometime early this morning, our database started having issues, most likely due to a disk corruption issue.
Unfortunately the postgres database was unrecoverable, and we had to restore from a nightly backup, so a few hours of posts and comments will be missing.
Apologies again for the downtime, and for the disruption.
Do you know that you are doing to me?! I actually had to work while lemmy was down…
no kidding. this particular FWP was… unpleasant.
Join us! Enjoy being among posters that never stop posting
No worries! Is there an announcement anywhere in case it’s down? Mastodon? Matrix?
We posted in some of the lemmy matrix chats, but ya we should also use our mastodon too.
it’d be helpful to post to sth like masto yeah, as its much more public facing than matrix.
Yep.
When I saw LemmyMl was down I went to sleep and had a dream where I was eating fries extremely large fries that that were labeled “Sadistically Large” and drinking probiotic shakes so dangerous they literally had to be bundled with a free antibiotic shake by law which of course I took one sip of in front of the clerk before guzzling the other shake down. Woke up before I found find out what the burger was.
This was, without any doubt, a prophetic dream. The apocalypse will soon be upon us! Be wary of the four horsemen: Ronald, King, Wendy, and… Chihuahua
Awesome that it’s back up! Thanks for all your hard work

Remember to make regular backups, kiddos.
Bummer.
Oh holy cow, those servers are running at some pretty high temps!
Liquid cooling required
That’s the power of optimized rust 🦀🦀
Holy fuck. I thought this was a joke before I saw who was posting it.
looks like some replay action too. my instance just got spanked.
So happy it’s back!
Only was a cable
Please tell me you’ve been saving this picture just for this type of occasion. 😂
Nope, only searched Lemmy server. 🤥
No apologies necessary. Y’all have been working overtime to get things back in order, and I appreciate it!
No worries, glad to hear you got it up and running again :)
I saw the “502 Gateway” HTTP error message, but I never even closed my browser tab. I refreshed again today and Lemmy.ml was back online! Thanks for your hard work!
I AM TALKING IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE I AM MAD
HOW DARE THIS FREE SERVICE I USE GO DOWN HOW EVER WILL I POST MEMES FROM MY OPAL THRONE
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
also thank you for hosting us and working on the issue!Idk what Lemmy.ml is is it some sort of liberal instance that refuses to engage with chapochat
I hope none of you have blocked my community because would make me angry
It’s the developer instance. It has no inherent or declared political leaning, though in practice pretty leftist and the devs are communists so.
Wait wtf communism is like totally evil? wtf!? 😧😧😧
