Problem with !data_structures (programming.dev)

Since the last update, it's not possible to get the !data_structures@programming.dev community page to even load. Can anyone take a look at the problem?

I just checked the status of communities such as !data_structures@programming.dev.

They are still fucked.

I understand not everyone can be a pro or spare time from their personal life to fix problems they barely had time to create to begin with.

But the truth of the matter is that programming.dev is proving itself to be unusable.

Just to think that not so long ago Lemmy was being portrayed as a Reddit alternative.

There was some maintenance to try to fix things but things ended up not being resolved so had to be rolled back and there should be another maintenance period in the future again

Hi there! Like many others, I’m wondering where this issue is at?

[–] Blaze 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

From the Matrix channel, @snowe@programming.dev has been sick for the last few days.

As mentioned elsewhere, you could consider opening an alt on Lemmy.zip

That doesn’t solve communities being inaccessible though, does it?

It addresses some of the federation issues some of the PD users are experiencing.

For the communities themselves, it does not fix that indeed. I hope they can fix that at some point, but it's been a month and it seems more complex than expected

It solves nothing, and feels like spam at this point. I mean, who do you think is not aware they can create an account somewhere else and shift their presence there?

Hello,

As suggested elsewhere in the thread, you might consider opening an alt on Lemmy.zip, it's a stable and well managed instance.

Exporting and importing settings takes a few clicks.
