lemmy.world had a DDOS in the past 24 hours, Lemmy.ml was showing problem, but now it is entirely unreachable. lemmy.world was showing “Error!” page (server still reachable), but that seems to have only lasted for a hour or so.

      It’s weird, I can access Lemmy.world through sh.itjust.works but I can’t log in. Are they updating maybe?

        If you mean that you can see content from lemmy.world from sh.itjust.works, that might be stuff that federated over before lemmy.world went down.

          But aren’t we talking and communicating on lemmy.world right now? Maybe I don’t understand it correctly and we’re communicating on sh.itjust.works even though it says lemmy.world.

            Interesting, I didn’t notice that this community was hosted on lemmy.world. Yeah, my understanding of how ActivityPub worked was that lemmy.world would have to act as a “relay” for these message to make it out, even though you’re on sh.itjust.works and I’m on kbin.social. I could easily be wrong about that, or perhaps lemmy.world is managing to stay just functional enough in the background to keep traffic flowing.

            Edit: Never mind, lemmy.world seems to be back up. I just visited their front page and it loaded fine.

              I know there’s a lemmy.world support community, I’ll try and see if they know what’s going on.

              Edit: On your edit, I still can’t log in and it’s acting the same as it was before. Nvmd, it’s just slow to load.

            You’re on sh.itjust.works

            This community is hosted on lemmy.world, but it doesn’t disappear if lemmy.world goes down.

              Yes, but we’re communicating on it where? If lemmy.world is down, why can we interact with each other, where is the info being stored?

                  I’m not on works or world, but I see your 4m old comment. Maybe it works like file sharing where there are seeds and peers? And without seeds, we can still see some content?

                    Your instance is federated with those instances, so you see his content. Thats really all there is too it. He was able to comment since world is back up now

                  Well that makes more sense. That explains how you can see beehaw.org stuff and even comment but they never get updated. I think I might be understanding this stuff a little now, thanks.

          Sorry, not very techy, what does this mean?

          lemmy.world is reachable, but no database connections,

          Does that mean he’s being attacked again?

            most likely, yes. There was no notice of a planned outage, and the timing of them both going down within 15 minutes of each other. Lemmy server programming code isn’t very robust when it comes to performance, it is possible to busy up the database to a point that the site become unresponsive. I don’t know what is going on with lemmy.ml being entirely unreachable, the devs who run that server don’t normally work on weekends… and normally nginx responds with an error at minimum. Nothing at all is loading
