Some instances have gone down recently, does anyone know why?

Are there others?

Also, it seems like a lot, does anyone know why they all went down at the same time?

We have a problem over at feddit.uk, the sole admin has gone missing and no one has been able to contact him. All we wanted is for a few more people to be made admins then problems could be solved. A new server/instance is going to be created and hopefully everyone on feddit can move over. Unless the admin comes back, it will fall behind in updates and become defederated. This happened once a few weeks ago by lemmy.world but we managed to convince them it was in error and they federated us back in.

I see that the admin came back and now there's a few admins there and all is well 👍

More an update for others, since I expect you already know!

Thank you yes. The original admin, for whatever reason, made an appearance and as you say, created more admins who use the server a lot more.

Everything should continue as normal. They were incredibly close to launching a new instance as well.
