They’ve been down all day I think, anybody know what’s up?
- Ah, this might explain the sudden drop https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=30 - I think that was more because of Hexbear going down? - Has to be, no way SDF has 5 million comments. 
- Good point! 
 
- Got damn that’s a drop, I didn’t even think SDF was that busy lol 
 
- Whatever it is, as a SDF member, I curse the day I decided to support them. I paid SDF because I believe in paying for what I use, and it turns out to be the worst service I use by a long shot. Why I didn’t open my first Lemmy account on a more reliable instance for free, I’ll never know… - SDF should be more reliable, they existed since like the 80s and have hosted tons of things from Public access UNIX to BBS to web hosting lol - Whatever they once were, they suck now. 
 
- I don’t really know, but the vibe I get from SDF is “this is my homelab, you can play on it if you want, mostly am I working on getting my Plan 9 machine to recognize its network hardware so if you have problems you may have to wait until I get around to addressing them.” - I kind of enjoyed when federation broke and the big instances were scrambling to fix it and SDF’s answer was “welp we’re now a non-federated instance until the Gods see fit to fix it in the next version of Lemmy.” But yes as a platform for participation it’s not ideal. 
- Sopuli is great! - Agreed. I wish I could transfer my SDF communities over here but it’s not possible, sadly. - It is possible to an extent, look at this post: https://lemmy.world/post/24312613?scrollToComments=true - That’s the exact kind of messy migration I want to avoid. 
 
 
 
 
- I don’t know, but there’s a related thread here: https://slrpnk.net/post/18399280 - No answers there (as of time of writing this comment), but someone did say they asked about it on IRC. 
- That’s odd, I was able to connect to it less than an hour ago - Seems to be up for me now too. 
- Looks like it just came back up lol 
 
- I think we’re good now lol. 
- I never noticed
