Concerns about lemmy.world (self.fediverse)

The instance has been down several times over the past few days?

Is there some ongoing maintenance, or are we doomed to face the same as feddit.uk?

Actually, I'm more used to the big sites going down, than small ones, but considering the fact that they are well-fed to come back online, compared to volunteer projects, just gave me some concerns

[–] dipshit 1 points 11 months ago

I totally understand, and it’s a valid concern. Without knowing anything about the admins who run this instance, it’s entirely possible that monitoring isn’t in place, or it is in place but notifications aren’t setup, or that is the case but people can’t respond to problems because they are at their day job, or they are responding to problems but solving those problems takes hours.. I’m speaking from personal experience running smaller projects for others. I was always very thankful to have users who understood these concerns, and I guess I try to gently remind users about the realities of the volunteer-run projects.
