Lemmy.one server failure (lemmy.one)

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.

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.

I’m in the same boat as you. Although I was told to check http://lemmy-status.org/ to see the status of the instance, truth is I didn’t know if Lemmy.one was ever going to be up again.

I had no idea this existed!

I got confused, and ended up making an alternative account in another instance. Glad Ido not have to worry about it, but redundancy is a virtue.

With each day with no news I started considering making another lemmy account in case this one didn't come back. I didn't know which one to make my new home though, since I liked privacyguides run one the best.

I think this is a wonderful instance and I am happy to be in it.

I hope it stays stable.

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.
