Radiation.party is back up!
The host I was using for radiation.party became extremely unreliable, extremely quickly, leading to an extended downtime while I worked on finding a good alternative.
I've shoved my lemmy instance onto one of my other dedicated servers for the time being, with the goal of eventually migrating it to its own beefier server.
There will be, unfortunately, a flood of posts for missed content on current sources. This has already happened as of me posting this post, so I sowwy.
If you'd like to help fund shoving this community onto a beef boy server, let me know here - I might set up a tipjar or something to allow folks to contribute at will.
