Apologies to all for today's performance issues and downtime.

Logging for our lemmy instance filled our main partition and brought everything to a halt. Our lemmy instance shares hardware with blahaj.zone, and the significant growth in lemmy over the last 10 days has caused the logs to grow in size exponentially! As a result of the logs filling up the main partition, both lemmy.blahaj.zone and blahaj.zone itself went down.

We've freed up some space, upgraded the hardware and spun everything up again, and it looks everything is back to normal.

Apologies for the inconvenience, and welcome back to everyone!

Do we have a status page that can be viewed in case of an outage? Either way, appreciate all the hard work you're doing! As someone in the tech sector, I know that's a huge surprise right xD, I understand the difficulties of what you're doing. I'm just glad to have such a great place to call home. If you do set up any kind of donation I know many of us are going to be willing to share to keep such a great and safe place running.

Alas, there is no status page. The consequences of a community that grew almost overnight :)

We will probably get a donations page up soon, but we want to make sure we do that correctly if we're going to do it.
