Today's downtime
Today's downtime
Apologies to all for today's performance issues and downtime.
Logging for our lemmy instance filled our main partition and brought everything to a halt. Our lemmy instance shares hardware with blahaj.zone, and the significant growth in lemmy over the last 10 days has caused the logs to grow in size exponentially! As a result of the logs filling up the main partition, both lemmy.blahaj.zone and blahaj.zone itself went down.
We've freed up some space, upgraded the hardware and spun everything up again, and it looks everything is back to normal.
Apologies for the inconvenience, and welcome back to everyone!

Nice to hear that everything is ok. Wouldn't it be a good idea to shit out the logs to another form of long term storage? That could help during the influx of Reddit refugees.
Yeah absolutely. The main issue here is that this lemmy instance was spun up as a side project for me and until 10 days ago, I was basically the only user. We never planned for a reddit migration and 1400 user signups in a single week, so things are not currently configured optimally for two active instances.
We're aware of it though, and will get everything humming along smoothly, once we've had a chance to catch up :)
Thanks for letting us all come hang out with you!
