I was going to ask the same thing. I can't find any info anywhere about it

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

anyone on the matrix channel who might have some info?

[–] mysteriousSpoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I've never used matrix, but if it's hosted in the same place wouldn't it be down as well?

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh I thought the main chat was hosted on matrix.org

[–] mysteriousSpoon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Maybe, I don't know how matrix works tbh

The old frontend looks to be up, but as the backend API is down it doesn't work. That indicates the servers are still there, even if Lemmy isn't up.

Matrix still works even if the server that originally created the room goes down.

You might have trouble joining the room but people in the room on other servers can still chat without any issues.

Just going to settle in with this alt for now. Whatever, that's the nice part of federation. Pity though, I had to thank somebody for a nice compliment and I can't find it now.

Looks to be up now!
