Total Lemmy newb. RIF refuge and not going back to reddit. I’m sure responses here will be biased and I know the system is stressed right now I guess, but does this server have a reputation for unreliability? I’ve been pretty disappointed with the uptime.
Guess I should have been more specific, I thought this was just a thread for lemmy.fmhy.ml “instance” An instance is just another word for a fediverse server correct? This particular instance has been down for hours at a time within the past few days. I guess it doesn’t really matter so much which instance I hop on though? That’s part of the point? I just need to me more quick to switch instances in my app if having difficulty connecting.
Basically. If you go to a certain website, that’s one instance, and if you go to another website (that’s also on Lemmy), that’s a different one.
Are you sure you’re talking about this one (And you’re on this site?) Double checked it isn’t your own internet? By “down” do you mean some posts don’t work, all posts, or you can’t access the site at all? Also, are you far from where the server is hosted from, which is Europe?
Just get a site is down message on connect. Accessing through browser also gives failed connection. No problems on my end.
Very strange especially since we’ve had 100% uptime. Only issue we’ve had was with image uploads which has been resolved for posts.
Well the only possibility is that it’s a DNS or VPN issue, cause like Kai said, we haven’t had any downtime, let alone one that lasts hours at a time.
