Downtime, bugs, and failures on any kind of service (email, web, XMPP, etc)

Report problems with a service here that is unrelated to user-controlled client side software. Thus servers and web clients are fair game. This is a catch-all for situations not accommodated by the following related communities:

!bugs@sopuli.xyz - for bugs in third-party software apps
!isitdown@infosec.pub - for downtime status on Lemmy instances specifically (although they accept reports on any fedi node)
!assholedesign_web@infosec.pub - for deliberate enshitification of web services specifically

lemmyverse.net missing many communities - is it no longer crawling? (slrpnk.net)

When querying for “legal” and “law” on lemmyverse.net, it’s starkly clear that many communities are missing from the database. I get far more results when querying on specific instances. So what’s the problem? Is it no longer crawling?

I understand the confusion.

Maybe I should've been clearer that lemmyverse performance has been unreliable, not just the crawler. Entire instances, communities, and mixes of the two have disappeared and reappeared between scans. It also hasn't been reliably picking up changes to instances it already knows about.

TLDR lemmyverse has something wrong with it.
