[@support](https://lemmy.world/c/support) Is the server down just now as I can't login or see it on the web ?

@JustineSmithies @support last couple of days (weeks?) they suffered a lot from script kiddies/ddos attacks and such. They have been down intermittently last week
Not sure if there's a tangible gain to be had (apart from if it were Reddit interfering), but some people just enjoy being jerks simply for the sake of being jerks. Look at the whole The Lizard Squad situation with Xbox and Playstation awhile back, there was no reason, they just wanted to upset people for the hell of it
lemmy internally has SQL flaws that have not gotten much attention. A few days ago, over the weekend, lemmy.ca people studied some of the SQL and exposed a problem where every single new comment and new post on a local server updates 1500 rows in a database table where it should be updating just 1. There have been similar runaway SQL statements discovered. Fixes for the most recent issue are already on GitHub waiting for merge and publication.
Well I'm able to see this 23m later, but actually the reason I'm here isnbecau lemmy.ml just went down this very minute.
I've been getting Error messages the last couple of days. Sometimes I can't get into Lemmy.world at all but after some time it works again.
also is there a status site or mastodon account to follow? to make sure if the issue isn’t on my end.
See the pinned post on this community, if the instance is down, you can just google "lemmy.world status page"
@jagoan @JustineSmithies with how unstable lemmy.world has been, it's probably a better idea to move to another instance.
You'll still be able to see lemmy.world content, whether comments or images load is another question
More for pushing your own agenda on a completely unrelated comment. They weren't asking about moving, they were asking about a status page.
