I just visited it and it came up fine for me. Probably just a host blip or they're updating something.

As was already mentioned, they've defederated from a lot of instances, but they're instance is still running. Just don't expect to interact with it from lemmy.world or the 377 other instances that have been blocked.

Or any of the instances they'll decide to block in the future

If you had an account and then deleted it, you will get this page until you delete you beehaw cookies. It tries to automatically log you in on your old account and then fails with this error as it was deleted.

I'm not sure if this is unique to beehaw or across all Lemmy instances.

Getting an error page sometimes when visiting a popular Lemmy instance is normal unfortunately. The popular instances get a lot of traffic, and that is probably what causes this. I have had this happen with Lemmy.world a few times so far.

Even on Reddit this wasnโ€™t that rare. They just have a system in between that hands you a nice error page with a sad looking Snoo and an error message.

Yeah, it's less common in the era of modern cloud computing and 99% uptime, but in the era of the fail whale wasn't that long ago. The fediverse is a whole new tech paradigm run mostly by hobbyists. It's going to have to grapple with those same problems as it grows

As exemplified by your comment accidentally getting duplicated four times :]

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Lol, was gonna clean up the duplicates, but this gag made me laugh, thanks.

That's probably a kbin UI bug

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Lol, yes it was. It failed to submit a few times and I finally left thinking it hasn't posted at all. Guess it got queued with giving the frontend feedback.

It's up for me. This might just be a fail-safe response if the server software drops or something like that (especially since the Lemmy software hasn't been thoroughly tested except lately). If Beehaw intended to permanently take down their instance they'd probably make beehaw.org link to a blog post instead of a white screen that just says "deleted".
