Federation is broken.
It’s been broken for days - and that’s not to say for months, because I charitably include the few hours it worked again lately for some reason.
I don’t know if other instances are that thoroughly broken, because the rest of Lemmy seems to be chugging along just fine. It’s just us poor SDF user suckers.
And no-one gives a rat’s ass.
Truly pathetic…
What would be the right way? @SDF here on lemmy has been pinged afaik. I don’t use mastodon, and I don’t know where to e-mail.
In the future, maybe we should ask SDF for an official way to contact them outside lemmy. I’m guessing that the admin isn’t really a lemmy user, or they would have noticed the whole thing going on.
I realize that I can’t demand anything, we’re using a free service run by volunteers and donations. I like the community here on SDF, and am interested in finding out how we, together, can make it a great instance.
I asked in #helpdesk on irc and they said to mail membership@sdf.org, which I did earlier this morning.
If I hear back I’ll update the thread.
They replied pointing out that the instance now runs 0.19.2.
Seems fixed.
