I have a process which copies emojos from the hajkey blahaj.zone site to our lemmy.
Last night (for me) it copied an invalid emojo into the database and it broke lemmy for hours while Ada and I were sleeping.
I've found the issue and fixed it now, so everything should be purring along once again, but for those who were left without the instance to use, I sincerely apologise.
happy the best instance is back up!!
