What happened to feddit.de? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I used to have an account on feddit, which is a german lemmy instance. For three months now I am only getting "Server error" when trying to visit it. Can anybody reach it? Is there any site where I can check the state of instances? Or was I banned?

Thanks for any help :)

It's still up an running as long as you use a 3rd party app. But the webinterface has been broken for weeks.

Interesting, thanks for that info. Then I can still scrape my subscribed communities :)

There was some issue with the picture database causing the frontend to break. The admin has been absent since then, apparently prioritizing some personal issues. There is an effort to create a replacement for the instance, in cooperation with a group called the fediverse foundation. It's currently unclear if the admin will give over the instance or whether an entirely new one will have to be created.

I get the same server error when trying to hit feddit.de directly in browser, but I see posts/comments from users there, so I'm assuming it's up. The user I checked there commented 2 hours ago.

I can also switch Tesseract's guest instance to feddit.de successfully, so the API is responding.

Best guess is their main web frontend (and maybe their pict-rs) is down?

They have https://status.feddit.de linked in their sidebar, but I can't get it to load.
