From the Average Lemmy Servers Online by Day graph
- 18th September: 1224
- 19th September: 1002
Does anyone know more about this? Seems a bit strange to have all of them going down on the same day

I was thinking it’s only spam servers, but it might actually just be downtime for hetzner or something.
Instances do not get banned on lemmy. You can run any kind of an instance.
That said, part of this could be providers pruning “fake customers”, aka spammers, scammers, etc, who “paid” for their servers with stolen CC and SSN.
Edit: Someone up to making an uptime map for Lemmy, placing servers on a map based on where they report originating at? This could help seeing if a specific datacenter has downtime.

Not super consistent but it does place all kinds of services on a map.
*When you reccomend the site that the OP came from to as a solution to a followup post… 🫤 stil it works. Also found out today that when you put the site through cloudflare it takes it off the map which is kind of a +/-
I think the Fediverse.observer stats for the 19th are off - it’s showing that drop across all software categories - Mastodon and Kbin show the same dip.
I don’t even understand those stats, apparently there are around 1 Mio. Lemmy users and 8.5 Mio. Posts per day? So every user creates 8.5 Posts per day?
Some people are definitely able to postmore than 10. Also, there are bots who posts tens if not hundreds per day
Ah, that could be!
Could this be due to the .ml and a few other domains thing again? The issuer is gradually pulling all of the free domains from people, while leaving the paid users active until their term is up.
Doubt it, that’s usually just a single command on the top level domain. Everything gets kicked out at once.
Edit: Also, suppo.fi also seemed to be down for a bit, and it’s probably in DE hetzner datacenter.
Ah, I didn’t know it was all at once, yeah sounds more like what you said in the other comment about Hetzner or providers pruning customers then.
Adding an asterisk on the *this particular thing happened quick.
I assume it would, but I don’t know, OP got the statistics.
E: OP had a link, it’s pretty fast drop.
The German Feddit was down for quite a while, but if this counts for 200 servers I do not know.
There is a drop of 600k comments as well, I know Germans can be efficient, but maybe not that much
I only subscribe to 4 German communities, and I can very clearly see by an influx of posts and comments on my front page when my countrypeople wake up, so I could actually believe that :D
Update: they are back: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
Probably spam instances that got booted out all in one go.
That would be nice
Hopefully just hobby servers with single digit users.
