UPDATE: @[email protected] has responded
It is temporary as lemmy.world was cascading duplicates at us and the only way to keep the site up reliably was to temporarily drop them. We’re in the process of adding more hardware to increase RAM, CPU cores and disk space. Once that new hardware is in place we can try turning on the firehose. Until then, please patient.

Starting sometime yesterday afternoon it looks like our instance started blocking lemmy.world: https://lemmy.sdf.org/instances
This is kind of a big deal, because 1/3rd of all active users originate there!
Was this decision intentional? If so, could we get some clarification about it? @[email protected]
You are absolutely welcome to do that.
I'd really rather not leave, though! I like it here -- but being forced to choose does put me in a bind when it comes to being able to build the things that I want to build. Lucky for me then that today won't be the day where such a decision is thrust upon me.
