Like, has an instance gone down and if so, why hasn't there been a comparable drop in users and comments?

Edit: Thanks to @[email protected] here for pointing to zerobytes.monster becoming more aggressive against bots as the likely culprit.

It may have been lemmy.zip

It did in fact go down for about 48 hours... prompting me to make this new account on dbzer0.

Basically, the admin attempted to update to a newer lemmy version... and it failed, multiple times, and they just rolled back, restored the old version, posted an explanation and apology, and they'll be further looking into ... exactly what went wrong.

But zip has < 50K posts.

Maybe they unzipped the archive? /S
