It's up for me. This might just be a fail-safe response if the server software drops or something like that (especially since the Lemmy software hasn't been thoroughly tested except lately). If Beehaw intended to permanently take down their instance they'd probably make beehaw.org link to a blog post instead of a white screen that just says "deleted".

Although it's a little less convenient than just remembering across refreshes, you can set a default sort in your profile if there's a particular sort you like.
That being said I find myself hopping between Top Day and Hot so I can only start on one or the other. Would be nice if it just remembered.
Another good sort is "Top Day". The blackout and subsequent activity here really highlighted an issue in Hot where the most popular communities just endlessly get interaction and stay at the top of Hot/Active. On the other hand, Top Day has been continuously bringing in new posts from all my communities.
The best experience is probably going to be using a combination of the two, swapping if one feels like it's getting stale.
Better to have more servers as opposed to one ultra powerful server because the ultra powerful server tends to be more expensive than an equivalent strength collection of weaker servers. Also, you pay for all the power even during times you don't need it whereas you can take down or add more weak servers as necessary.
Hey, wanted to say thanks again for running an instance with a critical mass of users that's so easy to register on. This is the kind of thing people from the old site need if they're actually going to get on Lemmy. Big instances don't accept new users readily and small instances run into weird issues like needing to get the server to discover the "big" subs that people are interested in.
This one is at the size where the average user can just get in and go. You might say... shit just works.
Aye, after seeing the pictures this instance could very easily get into trouble for hosting that kind of content. Keep in mind that the site is not hosted in the US, but Canada.
