FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites.

Maybe the admin got hacked?

edit: lemmy.blahaj.zone has also been hacked. beehaw.org is also down, possibly intentionally by their admins until the issue is fixed.

It was cleaned up on the home page, but now back to being defaced as of this comment time.

Another user on the site confirmed this:

Now I'm unable to open lemmy.world, even on liftoff. Mods must have taken it down.

Same here. Seems to be toast through the liftoff app but I haven’t visited the site since the news broke. Liftoff was working an hour ago when it first happened.
