Anyone else noticed there hasn't been any Lemmy.world content federating for the past couple of days? Is it because of their constant outages?

Title. With so many communities on .world, the feed feels very sparse without them.

no wonder why it seemed so fast here on lemmy.ml if the new content is going in, that puts less load on the server. -- You are right, I don't see anything in https://lemmy.ml/c/technology@lemmy.world?dataType=Post&page=1&sort=New
There is some new code in Lemmy 0.18.3 to remove dead peer servers, I wonder if that tripped up or something.
- Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !technology@lemmy.world?dataType=Post&page=1&sort=New
- I think the speed improvements are mostly due to the new update. AFAIK federating content isn't a major source of load for the servers.
while I haven’t seen any official confirmation, I believe that the instance is experiencing a number of DDoS attacks (they confirmed they had been last week). Their serves have been having constant issues and experiencing extended downtime frequently over the last two weeks.
the 18.3 upgrade should help a lot with that. best of luck to them!
- The upgrade addressd the inefficient database queries, but unfortunately introduced new ones. The .world database, I read, keeps maxing out.
  
  it’s always something...
When I checked my lemmy.world account on my desktop it ended up error or can't load.
- They are having a new outage now
Yeah lemmyshitpost is missing a ton of new posts
Still ongoing
It looks to me like it happened Saturday night. !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world and !world@lemmy.world are a couple of the more active communities that show cut-off.
