As you reading are undoubtedly aware now, the Lemmy.one instance experienced a massive failure this weekend. Unfortunately the data was not in a recoverable state, so the server was restored from a July 26th backup, and data after that time is likely lost.
Since this occurred while I was out of town, I haven’t had the time to collect all the details of what happened, so I will have to post more information at a later time.
My biggest concern was that there was no way to find information about what was going on. Your Mastodon had no information.
There was a thread on Lemmy support about it and some people thought the instance was gone forever.
