Hey folks,

unfortunately DATATERM is having some problems that are a bit annoying.

Sadly, we found out that after the update, the mail delivery does not work.

So don’t be surprised if you haven’t received any emails.

If you have registered with us and are still waiting for a mail - we are taking care of the problem, the mails should hopefully go out soon.

Alternatively you can contact me via @[email protected] (Mastodon) or @[email protected] (Misskey/Calckey) with the username you wanted to register with, then we can activate you manually without mail.

And that’s not all… sigh.

Surely some of you have noticed that our instance has been unreachable several times since today (21.06.2023).

Well, now…

Stupidly, many bots try to log in and unfortunately the load is sometimes so huge that our machine simply says no and goes out. Some Lemmy instances have this problem too because there is a big design flaw in this software regarding security settings meh.

Everything is still a bit alpha or beta and broken.

Thank you for your understanding!
