Sometimes I click on instances to check them out, but feddit.de has consistently been returning a 500 error however there are people posting from there. What kind of magic is this? Have the Germans figured out how to have a private instance that’s somehow still connected to the fediverse?

    The web-UI and Pictrs image host has been down for more than a week now, but the backend API for app use and federation was still working. But I have the feeling that sometimes during the last 24h that also went down, or at least I haven’t seen a post relayed from them during that time.

    I really don’t know what’s going on there, but at least initially someone said they ran out of storage on their server. But it seems odd that this takes more than a week to fix. Maybe the main admin is on holidays?

      I was lowkey hoping it was something voluntary and convoluted. Thought they had figured something out.

      Thanks for the information.
