Why have we started blocking lemmy.world? (NO LONGER BLOCKED)
Why have we started blocking lemmy.world? (NO LONGER BLOCKED)
UPDATE: @SDF@lemmy.sdf.org has responded
It is temporary as lemmy.world was cascading duplicates at us and the only way to keep the site up reliably was to temporarily drop them. We’re in the process of adding more hardware to increase RAM, CPU cores and disk space. Once that new hardware is in place we can try turning on the firehose. Until then, please patient.
ORIGINAL POST:
Starting sometime yesterday afternoon it looks like our instance started blocking lemmy.world: https://lemmy.sdf.org/instances
This is kind of a big deal, because 1/3rd of all active users originate there!
Was this decision intentional? If so, could we get some clarification about it? @SDF@lemmy.sdf.org
You're viewing a single thread.
Two things that would be great:
- Have a tanoy/horn announce icon at the top like with Mastodon where status information can be posted.
- Change the heart icon to link to a method that supports the local instance
Attempts were made to create a thread for the almost daily upgrades we're going through with BE and UI changes, but even with pinning it doesn't have the visibility.
We're on site in about 1 hour to install a new RAID and once that is completed we'll finish the transfer of pict-rs data.
You're all doing an amazing job!
I became an ARPA member this past week and am happy to donate again to chip in for this hardware upgrade.
Edit: donated at the $48 yearly level.
Just donated to do my part to help keep the lights on. Thanks y'all for doing a great job, I am glad I found SDF.
I have created a sub called MetaLemmy in hope that people will use it to discuss matters like these, so that the SDFpubnix sub will be more useful for announcements and such. If you want to discuss the meta-workings of lemmy.sdf.org, please go there (and if you are interested in moderating, please respond to the post there, as I do not want to be the mod of that sub long-term.) Thanks.
