    Dude, this sucks. I signed up for a couple of instances, but that was my main one.

    So if it’s gone and unable to come back are all those comments and posts we made there just gone?

      The data for the communities is stored on that server, so yes, but only for the content that was actually posted there. Any posts you made from that account will continue to exist on outside communities.

      Hopefully, it’s just a temporary failure.

        I just wish I could access my account settings, which look like they are stored on the server instead of the app I use. I had already blocked several hundred communities that I wasn’t interested in and I don’t look forward to re-blocking them again (ok, maybe I look forward to it just a little bit, I might have a problem)

      I’m in the same boat. I’ve set up shop at lemm.ee just in case but I still like VLemmy and hope that it comes back online.

          I was not on the Admin team, I did moderate the Chat community and I was active in Support but I wasn’t technically an admin. I had applied to be an admin, as pyarra the day before yesterday put out a post asking for admin applications, but then the server died and I’m not sure what happened.

            Ah, sorry! Have noticed it a bit after posting my comment, that’s why it’s deleted. Yeah, you were only a mod of !chat@vlemmy.net, but not the support one. And thanks for your participation on vlemmy and your help to newbies like me.

              It’s no problem! I really like helping build new communities, and I was having a really good time participating on VLemmy. I’ll continue participating using lemm.ee and continue enjoying the platform and community, but I really hope that VLemmy comes back because I was happy with what we were building there.

      i think the archive from that instance is gone, anything posted on other instances should be still there i think but anything posted locally is probably gone unless its still in the memory on other federated instances

        I imagine this is just a dns/domain name issue and the server still exists with all its login info and data intact. If that’s the case we should just be able to change the settings in whatever client we’re using to the new domain name/ip address and everything should work like normal. Unless the server got nuked and there were no backups or something catastrophic.
