I’m trying to work on Lemmy performance and scale issues. I’m the same person as RoundSparrow @ Lemmy.ml instance.

most likely, yes. There was no notice of a planned outage, and the timing of them both going down within 15 minutes of each other. Lemmy server programming code isn’t very robust when it comes to performance, it is possible to busy up the database to a point that the site become unresponsive. I don’t know what is going on with lemmy.ml being entirely unreachable, the devs who run that server don’t normally work on weekends… and normally nginx responds with an error at minimum. Nothing at all is loading
lemmy.world is reachable, but no database connections, it has an “Error” page on every post I try to load. Which this post itself on Lemmy.world serves as example: https://lemmy.world/post/1578844
Lemmy.world down now for over 30 minutes, Lemmy.ml over an hour (I created this post on Lemmy.world before it went down). Distant Early Warning Sign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrDj5XvZXX4
