As you reading are undoubtedly aware now, the Lemmy.one instance experienced a massive failure this weekend. Unfortunately the data was not in a recoverable state, so the server was restored from a July 26th backup, and data after that time is likely lost.
Since this occurred while I was out of town, I haven’t had the time to collect all the details of what happened, so I will have to post more information at a later time.
Why is this still pinned?
Can we please remove this as a pin?
Unpin this. It’s 3 months old.
@jonah can this post be unpinned? Don’t think I need it at the top of my feed anymore :)
Does anyone know why this is still showing up at the top of my “active” feed?
I think that’s because it’s pinned by the instance admin - if you unsub from this meta community it should disappear from your feed
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.
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?
No - the posts and comments you make are copied to other federated servers
Are we having a server failure today? I seem to have no ability to post comments.
Thank you for your work! No one is expecting you to be always available, considering this is voluntary work you are doing.
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!
