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.

    Thank you for your work! No one is expecting you to be always available, considering this is voluntary work you are doing.

    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.

      Yeah really would be good to have a separatly hosted status page or something, but I understand that is a luxury. Considering Jonah has freely volunteered to host it’s hard to complain.

    Does anyone know why this is still showing up at the top of my “active” feed?

    Are new signups not being accepted? It’s been nearly a week since I applied. I thought I answered the questions appropriately. Other instances accepted relatively quickly, within a couple of days.

    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?

    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!
