For now, I just redeployed all of our servers completely, but as I don’t know the actual root cause of the issue yet, I’m still investigating to figure out if anything more is needed.

Sorry for the delay in updating the status page - I actually had gone out for lunch just a few minutes before the downtime started, so I didn’t even realize anything was up until I was back at my computer about 45 minutes later 💀
Actually, we’re using Hetzner’s cloud load balancer for lemm.ee. But if this issue repeats in the near future, then I will definitely consider setting up something else.
There are two useful sections on https://status.lemm.ee for this - firstly, there is an automated check for federation with all other instances on the bottom of the page, and everything there being red is a definite sign that something is wrong with lemm.ee itself. Secondly, near the top of that page, I will always write a status message manually when I discover & start work on any issues. This second part can have a bit of a delay, as it requires manual input from myself, but I have updated it every time we had any issues so far.
I believe I discovered and fixed one cause for intermittent slow page loads, but please let me know if you notice it again in the near future
I use SwiftKey and I hate it, but I haven’t found anything better
I’m in exactly the same boat. 😅
I don’t understand how it has been broken for years. I wonder if none of the engineers working on it actually use it themselves? Deleting all of your local data makes it stop crashing for a few weeks, but then you of course also lose all the learned predictions, and eventually it just gets to a point where it just crashes more and more often and you have to delete all the local data again. It sucks.
If only the default Apple keyboard had support for my language, I would ditch SwiftKey forever.
Got it, thanks for the clarification
I had this post linked to me, but I don’t really understand the meaning, or what glow.ee means.
Is this a complaint about about us banning the community in the screenshot 9 months ago? This type of content is not allowed on lemm.ee, if you create such communities, then you can expect a ban every time.
I think it’s not really on your side, most likely either just something wrong on kbin.social itself, OR a side-effect of the measures lemmy.world implemented against kbin.social recently.
They are basically local-only communities on lemmy.world at this point, unfortunately. There is no federation to any other instance for any lemmy.world user posts on those communities.
You haven’t been doing anything wrong from your side - we have just been experiencing some growing pains with a new Lemmy feature (image proxying).
It’s a bit unfortunate that these problems cropped up, but ultimately we will benefit from this new feature, as it will help solve several issues with Lemmy image hosting overall. So I hope you can forgive the issues and trust that the end result is worth it!
Ahh I see the issue & have fixed that example post now.
Basically, I had already fixed the root cause which was breaking the images, but there was a period while I was working on the fix during which some images posted would remain in a broken state. I don’t unfortunately have a fast way of automatically detecting and fixing those broken images unfortunately, but I can fix them one by one manually.
Having said that, any new images posted now are not getting broken. I’ll see what I can do about the broken ones, maybe I can find some way to automate fixing them.
Hey, I’m not seeing any issues at the moment, can you share more details about what is broken for you currently?
I’ve made a few PRs to hopefully improve the image situation, these are all running on lemm.ee as of now as well, so hopefully it’s better now!

Maybe this community is a good target for that? Let me know your thoughts.
FWIW I know some users often check their local announcement/support communities through other instances during downtime, so it can actually be quite nice to have such communities federated to other instances.
The maximum file size limit for images hosted directly on lemm.ee servers is always visible in the sidebar of our front page. The limit stands at 500kb per image currently.
Additionally, It’s also possible to post images larger than 500kb, they just have to be hosted externally. The markdown for this is ![alt text](image url)
I’ve made some experimental changes, please let me know if you notice any difference
I’ve implemented a workaround for the imgur rate limiting now!
Hey, I see you luckily already received a relevant response here, but I still want to clarify: this community is for lemm.ee support, but your issue seems to be related to !politicalmemes@lemmy.world, so actually lemm.ee admins wouldn’t be able to help you with this.
