Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

Sometimes I click on instances to check them out, but feddit.de has consistently been returning a 500 error however there are people posting from there. What kind of magic is this? Have the Germans figured out how to have a private instance that's somehow still connected to the fediverse?

The web-UI and Pictrs image host has been down for more than a week now, but the backend API for app use and federation was still working. ~~But I have the feeling that sometimes during the last 24h that also went down, or at least I haven't seen a post relayed from them during that time.~~

I really don't know what's going on there, but at least initially someone said they ran out of storage on their server. But it seems odd that this takes more than a week to fix. Maybe the main admin is on holidays?

Federation is still working if you are reading this comment.

The only admin has some personal stuff to handle right now and won't find the time to fix this mess before the end of the month.

Ok, good to know that it is still the same as before.
