Seems like they are under attack again, will those people never stop? I feel sorry for the admin team.
You would think we all learned our lesson once Vlemmy broke
Why are people attacking a msg board?
Because there’s a very small chance one of the message board users might click on a link and get scammed for money?
Not sure if people dumb enough to click mystery links and hand Nigerian princes bit coin use these boards, but gl i guess lol
Never underestimate stupidity. You’ll always be surprised.
If you spam 1000 links, and 2% of people are really dumb, that’s 20 suckers to steal from.
That pond always has fish in it!
It’s been this way for weeks, actually. I haven’t seen a graph of the uptime, but I’m sure one would look extremely ugly, based on my own user experience.
This right here is an alt, and despite the fact that I don’t prefer to comment from it, since I won’t necessarily check in soon to see replies, it’s seeing some heavy use.
The attacks a few weeks ago weren’t a one-off, they never stopped. It seems down maybe half the time or so?
One of the many ways we (all of Lemmy) are not quite ready for the mainstream yet, we still have basic technical/security issues to resolve. Soon, though.
88% on weekly basis https://lemmy-status.org/endpoints/_lemmy-world
96.4 uptime
Isn’t it 88 based on their own status page? https://lemmy-status.org/endpoints/_lemmy-world
The last 7 days yeah. I was looking here https://lemmy-world.statuspage.io/
96.3 now.
If either of those figures is actually accurate from an end-user standpoint, then the entire downtime must be coming during my primary periods of usage.
As you’re probably based in Canada, that might be it. I’m in Europe and usually their downtime happens during our nights
Both are quite high (ex. 88% is 43 days a year, ~3hrs daily rounded up)
Seems down again https://lemmy-status.org/, testing if I can see this comment from other instances
It’s getting really annoying. Is there an mobile friendly way to migrate my account from lemmy.world to lemmy.zip?
Hello,
Hm, I’m afraid at this moment the most common solution is https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim, which requires a computer. Would you be able to get access to one at some point later?
I have access to my work MacBook. Would that work?
I’m not an expert in Rust, but I guess it should!
LASIM author here - it should! Though Mac OS X is the one platform I can’t test on myself - I can build it through Github, and everything I did should be cross-platform, but I can’t actually launch it myself to make sure everything is working fine.
Only other thing might be if their work Macbook imposes any restrictions on running arbitrary binaries from the internet - which it understandably might.
Ooh, I didn’t know about this, thank you. I’ve primarily been using kbin, but this sounds like a good tool to bookmark for the future.
Unfortunately, I don’t think there is anything on mobile yet. The best tool for this is LASIM on desktop.
Thanks! Gonna have to find some way to get to a PC or Mac.

If you’re on Android you can use Termux to run lemmy_migrate, it’s a Python script
You can always have multiple accounts
I guess the issue is to importing the huge list of blocked instances to the new account
Yes, exactly. Blocked and subscribed as well
Why do you block instances? Sorry, new here
Because I have no interest in them, or they are NSFW and don’t tag properly, or they are duplicates with ones I already follow (technology communities are a good example)
I personally follow all the technology communities and just show new subscribed content on my main page. Some content is the same but there’s a lot of different posts too.
It kind of sucks that there’s several sub’s with a lot of people but then again, that’s the point, right?
You do you, I just prefer to block them, as long as we are both happy, that’s what matters!
I’ll concede, that’s a legitimately useful timesaver.
Well, I just created two alt accounts on sh.itjust.works and jlai.lu, copying my subscriptions with lemmy_migrate. Not too difficult, but we definitely need a simpler way to login into different servers…
Bienvenue!
Merci 😁 Plus on est de fous… jlailu va peut-être devenir mon main en fait.
100% d’uptime, ça ne s’invente pas
Status page: https://lemmy-status.org/endpoints/_lemmy-world
We’re not allowed to have nice things.
Nice things cost money and I don’t have it. So, checks out.
The company running lw are asking for free unpaid 150k+a year admin work.
Fuck them. Someone run this personally and start a non profit.
Lots of options besides the one instance.
Thankfully, other instances are still up and allow us to talk about it.
Back in the days, when Reddit or Twitter were down, it was down for the whole userbase.
Yes, and we can do something about our own instances. Depending on your reverse proxy there’s a couple options.
Definitely!
how? I just use Sync for Lemmy and it seems like everything is down when lemmy.world is. I don’t really know how Lemmy works, or where different things I subscribe to are based.
Your account is on lemmy.world, so it fails to get any and all data. Accounts on other instances can interact with historic data.
You have to think of lemmy.world as your lemmy provider. Just like with e-mail you have your own email provider from the ISP, or gmail, or … If your own provider is down, you can’t receive or send mails, but all other people can send mails to each other. It’s the same with lemmy, but then for reading posts and send comments to that instance/provider.
Perfect. This makes sense, thank you.
Have a look at this comment: https://sopuli.xyz/comment/1603292
And it’s back up again! Kudos to the team!
Down again it seems. People seriously need to switch away from lemmy.world. Every single time it goes down so much content goes down with it. It’s annoying.
It’s working now. Indeed, I hope they will.

Because they’re on lemdro.id as lemmy provider, not lemmy.world. That’s the @ part in the user name.
I did this early on after realizing my mistake, promptly moved to vlemmy.net which after a couple weeks went totally mia.
Moved again… It’s a toss-up though. I want an instance big enough to stay updated, and have an active community, but not turn into .world or vlemmy.
You should be safe on infosec.pub, jerry is a great admin
Here’s to hoping!! I also worked with infosec group at my previous employer a lot and really grew to appreciate that field so I felt like a good fit !
That’s great!
I recommend people move away from Lemmy.world. Having ~28% of Lemmy users on a single instance is not good for the health of Lemmy overall.
For those that want to move to a different instance, here is a link to Lemmy instances sorted by user count: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy
Is there an easy way to move all my subscriptions over?
There is a python script: https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate
or a program with a GUI: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim/releases
lemmy.world has been so unstable for that I decided to switch to another instance. That’s the beauty of the Fediverse though.
I setup my own Uptime Kuma Monitor for lemmy.world just for fun… the statistics are crazy
I keep hearing about people switching, but is it just registering a new account at another instance? I joined world but would gladly jump instances to something more stable.
Hey, sorry for the late reply.
You can either look at https://join-lemmy.org/ or https://lemmyverse.net/ to find a new instance.I also found this tool that helps you to sync communities you’re subscribed to to other accounts on other instances: https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate
Edit: I found another migration tool which has a GUI, haven’t tested it yet though. https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
Just pick a mid-sized instance and there’s a 99% chance it’s more stable than Lemmy.world right now.
Look at users who don’t sound insane and see where they’re posting from.
What happens if that instance shuts down?
I have accounts on multiple instances. My Lemmy app lets me just switch accounts easily if one is having issues.
Oof that’s brutal. Didn’t realize it was that bad.
There’s a lot of small instances wanting to become medium/big instances and share the load, but people need to show a bit of initiative and join them. I just made this account, and here’s a list of a few other small servers with room to spare. YMMV but these all look pretty solid at a glance.
discuss.online lemmy.fmhy.net lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz lemmy.tf thelemmy.club lemmy.myserv.one
Can I transfer my subscribed list and anything else?
You can transfer your subscriptions using this tool, but your posts and comments obviously can’t be transferred.
https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate
At least that’s what I’ve been told, I haven’t used it myself.
Does the colored bar on top have a measure?
I think it’s an hour but I’m not really sure. They are the most recent pings.
Enjoy your new instance
Thanks!
Are they suffering DDOS attacks? They might need something like Cloudflare to combat this. Maybe some kind of reverse-proxy if the attack isn’t super massive.
Already running Cloudflare.
“Always Online” ™️
Ah shite.
The current issue is actually an ongoing DB issue. It’s not solely affecting LW.
Yes. My instance will sometime have unusual high load and it will overload the cpu unless restarted. 0.18.3 doesn’t seems to fix it, and it only affect some instance but not all. It’s hard to pinpoint what cause the loop to happen.
That doesn’t really work for logged in users though, right?
it’s been a rough two days, but I see a clearing in the sky 😋 !
Let’s hope it lasts!

Lemmy.world Is down, but Lemmy as a whole is still up and running. This is why I like the fediverse
Just another day…
