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?
As wgbirne already said, the admin has more important real life stuff to do unfortunately. If I understood it correctly, the lack of storage also killed the database, leaving it in an inconsistent state. In addition to that there seems to be an issue with the backups so no easy rollback and probably a lot of manual fixing needed.
Ugh, that will be a pain to fix indeed then. Makes it much more understandable that they take their time with it, but hopefully they also fix their backups.
