And any Idea on when or if it will be back online?
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 :(
Is that why i saw a remarcable lack of boobs in the feed?
Boobies!An admin in their matrix room explains they lack access to revive it. It’d been intermittently going down for a while.
Intermittently going down seems appropriate for a NSFW instance.
Admin with server access went AWOL a bit ago, so they can’t revive it
"if they took porn off the internet, there’d only be one website left, and it’d be called “Bring Back the Porn!” "
That’s basically what Tumblr is now
How far the mighty have tumbled.
How the Tumblr tabled.
First they came for the Socialists…
There’s a Coxism for every situation.
Lady, people aren’t chocolates. D’you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with a bastard filling. But I don’t find them half as annoying as I find naive bubble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine.
So this thread has shown a weird number of fucking Puritans on Lemmy but no answers to the question.
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.
It’s more like a few people loudly announce it and then get pelted with downvotes
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.
Bus factor strikes again.
That a lemmy issue in the way the Software is written or a General one?
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.

FBI open up
Spoiler
Unzips
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.
Same here - haven’t been able to have a proper goon in over 4 days, and that’s the only place where I source my material so…
Mods are out for a quick goon, id assume
They better be checking with a doctor if they’ve kept it up this long
kept it up this long
It’ll be okay.
It happens to everyone eventually
It’s down for my alt, now that I just checked. Haven’t been on there for a week
Is it still down? Works fine for me.
for me it’s been four days now.
No it doesn’t.

It did when I said that, but it sure isn’t right now.
Edit: Hey look, it’s working again! https://lemmynsfw.com/pictrs/image/89b9ce8b-247e-4ea7-9679-d84ccdec2025.jpeg (nsfw obviously)
No it wasn’t.
Oh look, this isn’t an argument!
Yes it is!
Just contradicting me isn’t arguing!
Yes it is!
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.
I’m just having a laugh
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.
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.
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.
(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.
Gone wild is a .world community.
This one? I’m pretty sure it’s lemmynsfw.
… Are you one of the lemmynsfw admins and I just don’t recognize you?
Use nsfwbrowser.com
Didn’t know that existed. Thanks
