In case you were hit by the issue on outdoors.lgbt (or know someone who was) and are looking for a new instance, mountains.social is a welcoming and friendly instance with a focus on mountains, trailrunning and the outdoors in general and has room for more sign-ups.

Boosts are appreciated.

No idea if I can find any other #outdoorslgbt folks but the server is gone y’all https://status.outdoors.lgbt/incident/249324

Hey there #OutdoorsLGBT peeps! You should now have access to a handy new 'Translate' option! :heart_trans:

#OutdoorsLGBT we are temporarily limiting techhub.social as they are the latest server falling victim to the spam wave

Update:

mastodon.social did the work to handle the spam accounts and we are removing the ‘limit’.

If you see any more come through that we don’t catch, please report them so we can take action. Thanks y’all! 💜

#OutdoorsLGBT

#OutdoorsLGBT has put mastodon.social on temporary ‘limit’ due to a huge influx of bot spam.

This does not affect people you currently follow or people that follow you. It prevents their posts from showing in your federated timeline and accounts you don’t follow won’t be able to message you. This limit is temporary until they sort out their spam situation. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

The shiny new #OutdoorsLgbt status page is up!

#MastoAdmin

Hey #OutdoorsLGBT peeps! All images etc are fully migrated our new object storage and all of our static assets are now served from the CDN! Image and page loading should now be QUICK as well as MUCH more stable.

That being said, there may be some of the browser caching issues we saw in the past due to this Mastodon bug: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/24235

If you hit this issue in the web version clearing your site data/cache should fix it. Wish there was a way around it but there unfortunately isn't. 😕

Object storage errors are back. Gonna be a long day. #OutdoorsLGBT

Seems to be normalized again and things caught up. Keeping an eye on it. #OutdoorsLGBT

Looking like the issue is presenting again. 😕 Will keep y’all posted. Looking to do some work next week to move us to a different region to help prevent this in the future. Sorry y’all. #OutdoorsLGBT

The service is back up and sidekiq is working to catch up on what it missed. Things should be back to normal soon. Thanks for your patience. 💜 #OutdoorsLGBT

Hey #OutdoorsLGBT friends:
Our cloud provider is experiencing an object storage outage in our region causing images, previews, and custom emoji to currently be down. Hopefully we’ll be back soon. 💜

@esther I couldn’t agree more! The people and the “cozy little corner of the internet” feeling they’ve created are why I absolutely LOVE having the honor of being the admin of a smaller instance like #OutdoorsLGBT. 🥺

Made some under the hood changes to #FediHost that should make for much improved speed on #OutdoorsLGBT and #MusicianSocial 😊

Hey #OutdoorsLGBT peeps. Sorry for the interruption to your daily toot activities! We suffered a cascading outage on our platform that is now resolved and sidekiq is playing catchup.

#OutdoorsLGBT

Hey all! Our cloud provider is experiencing an object storage outage which is causing images not to load intermittently. Things should hopefully be back to normal soon. Thanks for your patience! 💜
