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?
That’s been one of the biggest drawbacks for me personally. Who wants to go through collecting all of these communities, just to have the server crash and be forced to re-collect on a different instance? It’s very cumbersome, right now, and I hope that eventually it can be a bit more seamless somehow.
There are tools available to migrate accounts, like this one for example: https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate
But it has some limitations like your private messages will not be transferred. Also, I never tried this so don’t complain to me if something goes wrong :)
