It was my home to my account. I didn't catch any announcement it would be going down. 2 weeks ago the website started throwing errors (50* internal server errors) and since a week it is completely unreachable. There are still DNS records resolving the domain, but the site seems completely gone.

I'm of two minds here. You can't get new instances if no-one joins and uses them when they pop up.

Personally, I've gone with sopuli, which is quite small, but it only takes on new users through application, and has been around for years. An instance can be small, but also have a pedigree.
