Looks that way. Wonder Lemmy will ever become popular enough if they can't keep it up.

However would we cope without yanks coming into every community to talk about “this administration” unprompted and regardless of context?

Possible hosting problem? Sharkey.world is down too

they're back up now https://lemmy.world/

on no, not the lobotomy.world

Just tried opening the home page and appears active for me. Maybe routing issues for specific regions?

Yeah, happens all the time with all kinds of different instances. Just do yourself a favor and set-up an account on at least three but preferably around eight different instances and then maybe if you're super lucky you'll always be able to find at least one that's up and running when you want to get on.

Also, one of my big gripes is that so many Lemmy instances have various uptime monitoring services in place, but then when you check those while the site appears to be down, they almost always indicate that the site is fully operational and just fine. Those things are close to being useless, anecdotally speaking.

Wonder if it's cloudflare again

If people don't want lemmy.world constantly taken down, is there a preferable instance I can go to and attract heat and get that taken down instead? An instance people aren't a fan of?
