If you’re wondering why it has been looking quiet here, we stumbled upon an issue that caused lemdro.id to stop federating out its community content.
It should now be resolved but please let us know if there are any issues!

What happened to be the problem?
Basically, the lemmy backend service for some reason marked every instance we federated with as inactive, which caused it to stop outbound federation with basically everyone. I have a few working theories on why, but not fully sure yet.
TL;DR lemmy bug, required manual database intervention to fix
This was a stressful start to a vacation!
Thanks for all your hard work!
I suspect the readers are a very technical crowd. I would love to know the details.
