Long story short: I messed up with the domain registration for this instance, and never replied to a mandatory email. The domainname (lemmit.online) got put in suspension, causing disconnects all over the fediverse.
I fixed it as soon as I found out, but it will probably take a few more hours for the issues to be fully fixed.
So ehm. Whoops. Hope this explains and fixes the federation issues we’ve been having today.
As a side effect, I did manage to find and fix another bug that would lead to a crash in the bot :D
When you will update to the new Lemmy version?
Unknown. I’d first need to setup a local test instance to assure it works. Up until now I’ve been testing my bot against production (YOLO!)
