I can never seem to get the page to load, the prpgress bar is always stuck when trying to access the webpage.

I think I saw a post by the admin saying there were some issues and you had to 'follow' them to get new content

According to a pinned post, the performance is currently throttled which will cause the instance to be very slow. Timeouts are expected to occur until the beginning of next week.

The pinned post explaining it can be found at !fedinsfw@fedinsfw.app on most instances (eg. lemmy.world has it). It has "VPS" in the title.

Either way, as an earlier commenter said: the post says it should be resolved next week.

Edit: Corrected community.

since it started I have not seen any posts except for its general meta one. no idea why. People have made some pretty severe claims about the place.

Didn't a bunch of the fediverse de-federare from that instance?

The hosting service throttled the server when the admin tried getting Lemmy running along side Piefed.

The throttling has stopped, and the fediverse has gooner posts once more.
