Does anyone have any information on why LemmyNSFW is down?

And any Idea on when or if it will be back online?

So this thread has shown a weird number of fucking Puritans on Lemmy but no answers to the question.

FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world · 37 pts · 171d

As far as I can tell, one of the main selling points of lemmy is actually the ability to filter out all NSFW communities, which is better than reddit where they conflate "nsfw for porn" with "nsfw for a swear word or scary topic in this text post."

If people want to express a dislike of porn or say "eh it's bad for you so stop browsing there" then I don't mind. Could just block them if it gets really excessive.

From speaking with other instance admins it seems the head admin is not currently able to be contacted...

There is another lemmynsfw admin active in our chat but they do not have access to any database backups.

feddit.de happening strikes again.

feddit.de went down when the server's disk ran full which corrupted the database, and by the time the admin (who was on a sabbatical) reacted, all backups had already been overwritten with the corrupted data.

That a lemmy issue in the way the Software is written or a General one?

mech@feddit.org · 6 pts · 170d

The issue was that the instance was running on a single server, run by one person, who pays for it out of pocket and doesn't get any money back.
But my guess is, that's true for all but the biggest instances.

Lemmynsfw admin here, partially my fault but mostly not.

The other admin owned the server and the domain, suddenly he stopped responding, I started getting concerned and shit you not before all this happened I was planning on making a backup the weekend AFTER the site went down. But of course that never happened. That's the part that's my fault, I should have been backing things up ages ago.

The server is down, and I had access to the server, but not the platform it's hosted on. One day the server just... turned off. Other admin isn't responding and I have no way to get the data from the site.

I have access to, but don't own the domain. So the plan now is to look into other hosting options, like the fedihost beta program, and spin up a Lemmy and/or piefed instance and redirect from the old domain to a new one I own. But yeah unfortunately it looks like the site as it was is dead :(

An admin in their matrix room explains they lack access to revive it. It'd been intermittently going down for a while.

Kushan@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 170d

Intermittently going down seems appropriate for a NSFW instance.

mech@feddit.org · 47 pts · 171d

Cloudflare responds with error 521 to connection attempts.
Which means the server is refusing Cloudflare connection attempts.
And it's been like that for a while.
So it's shut off, broken, or not connected.

tl/dr: Server no worky

If you want to know more, the only one who can tell you is the instance admin.

What's there to argue? It's simply untrue. How much time should I spend arguing something that's factually inaccurate?

But don't take my word for it. Look at their other reply. They admit they were just mistaken. They weren't on that instance. They were on gone wild which is on .world.

InnerScientist@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 171d
Warl0k3@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 171d

You know there's two gonewild communities, yes? One on lemmynsfw with a post from 2 days ago and that I'm a frequent contributor to, and one on .world where the last post was 2 months ago (and that I've never interacted with) that doesn't even show up in the search results without some dedicated scrolling. I'm going to say it's effectively impossible to conflate the two accidentally. It's getting kinda creepy how insistant you are that I must be wrong about doing something completely reasonable.

AngryishHumanoid@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 171d (4 replies)

In her* my bad* defense I know it's been down for days, but I clicked a link to a lemmynsfw post this morning and it did open, then I tested it again a while ago and it didn't, so it is weird.

bdonvr@thelemmy.club · 10 pts · 171d

The posts will stay on your instance forever. But as long as the instance is down no new posts will ever come.

Images may or may not show up, depending on if they were externally hosted, got cached, etc.

Warl0k3@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 171d (2 replies)

(Her) Yeah, I can still access all my posts from there (they don't host on lemmynsfw, I think images are hosted on catbox) which is also just thru federation. But there are new posts on Gonewild from two days ago, which doesn't track with the people saying it's been down for four days - I suspect the outage is intermittent, but unless the admin comes forward with info there's no way for anyone to know right now.

Sharkticon@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 171d (1 reply)

Gone wild is a .world community.

I know it's probably client related, but to block a sub on Jerboa I click the post, then click the sub, then I can block. Meanwhile, I'm clicking on posts of monster dongs, going to the sub dedicated to monster dongs, just to try to see fewer dongs. And so yeah, my gripe is with my client, but I'd love a long press, block sub, bing bang boom.

OwOarchist@pawb.social · 1 pts · 171d

Same here. I block all kinds of communities, often just because they're not relevant to my interests.

I wish I knew a way to block a community without having to visit that community first, directly from my front page where a post from that community is showing up.

SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml · 9 pts · 170d (1 reply)

It stands for "Men Going Their Own Way". The other person claimed MGTOW freaks are all gay. But really what it boils down to is that MGTOW is a part of a larger constellation of violently misogynistic, fascist adjacent, terminally online "men's movements", to have crawled out of the dark corners of the internet over the last decade or so.

So MGTOW, Incels, pickup artists, and other assorted weirdos all boiled up out of the same primordial internet sludge, and they're trying to hop onto Lemmy. And I think it's imperative that we bully the shit out of these dweebs.

Don't let Nazi's into your bar, or else it'll become a Nazi bar, and all that.

Yeah but isn't that the point of federated services? Join an instance that doesn't federate to the nsfw instances and you don't need to see the content you don't want. Heck I have multiple logins, one for looking at naughty stuff, one for seeing general stuff plus nsfw memes, and a mostly PG login for general use.
