There is a status page up on https://status.lemmy.world
We have been dealing with some DDOS attacks and are still taking extra measures to get everything more stable but we are working with people in different timezones so it's not always as easy to react.
So yes, we are working on improving things.
There's been a DOS attack against the site and its database. The admins said they were going to move over to CloudFlare for DDoS protection and yeah, I just checked, they're getting served by CloudFlare now. Instability issues should go away.
I bailed on them for now and made an account on a much smaller instance so everything loads again. Thankfully with federation you can still see all the same content, you just need to set up subscriptions again on the new account if you choose to go that route.
Use a different instance. That one is overloaded. Honestly I think they should close sign ups for a while.
@PutangInaMo The instance is likely down. Luckily you can set up an alternate account on an alternate fediverse platform and browse your communities like nothing happened. That's what I did.
The fediverse is so awesome.

This site was showing lemmy.world was down.
I have also been having issues with lemmy.world on Memmy
No clue. But, thank you for unlocking a decade old memory of a Tagalog phrase I didn’t know I still knew.
lemmy.ml is also experiencing issues. both sites seems to have login disabled for almost 24 hours now. if they’re experiencing a DDoS attack, that would finally explain why.
Putangina mo!
Was down this morning for me
