Is this instance dead? Anyone else have it down for weeks now?
I have had to use a different instance go log-in and get to the posts.

Edit: Wait a second. I saw the post. And I replied. Problem fixed?

Nah, go to a browser and type in the instance url. It's unreachable.
Likely certificate/configuration related
So the server is up but the access is messed up

I think we’re basically just interacting with the dot world copy while the instance is down. So nobody outside of world is going to see this as it isn’t federating
Anyway, there’s actually a full breakdown of the situation on the “new communities” community right now. Basically a single individual had access to and was paying for the server and they went missing 6 months ago. So now the instance suddenly went down.
One of the other admins spun up a new instance and is repopulating it with backups from lemmynsfw, and they said they’re going to try and get ownership of it to restore it but that could take months
Edit: I’m having issues linking directly to the post for some reason but it’s on the front page here https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities

Backups of backups. Even people and access!

The person who created the instance disappeared months ago from what I heard. The instance is dead.
