Hey, so the fedinsfw.app instance seems, to me at least, to have been down for like a week now.
It doesn’t load anywhere via any app (tried summit, boost and voyager) or browser (tried Firefox and Kiwi on my phone and Firefox on my computer, all with and without adblocker enabled), also tried on another network and with a VPN but it either loads indefinitely or gives an error.
Is this somehow just for me or is it actually down/gone?
I tried searching around all of the fediverse for any info but didn’t find anything.
It looks like it uses CloudFlare.
Testing it just now, I frequently get a CloudFlare timeout trying to talk to the remote box via Firefox – it’s the line between CloudFlare and the instance or the instance itself with issues. Via
$ wget https://fedinsfw.app/, it eventually returns the root page, but takes a (highly variable) amount of time. Very slow, though, even then.It’d probably give you better performance if you log into another instance as a home instance, and then browse whatever community you’re interested in via that instance, plus taking load off fedinsfw.app, especially if that instance does image caching; that’ll offload some of fedinsfw.app’s bandwidth usage to other instances.
