Sometime early this morning, our database started having issues, most likely due to a disk corruption issue.
Unfortunately the postgres database was unrecoverable, and we had to restore from a nightly backup, so a few hours of posts and comments will be missing.
Apologies again for the downtime, and for the disruption.

Oh holy cow, those servers are running at some pretty high temps!
No worries! Is there an announcement anywhere in case it’s down? Mastodon? Matrix?
We posted in some of the lemmy matrix chats, but ya we should also use our mastodon too.
Do you know that you are doing to me?! I actually had to work while lemmy was down…
Join us! Enjoy being among posters that never stop posting
Awesome that it’s back up! Thanks for all your hard work
How does lemmy federation work in this case? Conceivably after being restored from backup the lemmy.ml instance could see those few hours of lost history as federated to other lemmy instances and resync it back as the host instance. Obv I’m vastly oversimplifiying things but what happens today?
