At a minimum they had some hacked web UI mayhem going on along with at least 1 admin account compromised...now they are in an at least partially down state. Might be worth alerting the Powers That Be to see if they want to offer assistance and if any measures should be taken to protect servers federated with it.

people shouldn’t flock to the most popular instance

That's precisely why I joined vlemmy.net, but now that seems to be suffering some other issue and is just completely down since yesterday...

Growing pains, I suppose. Mastodon had a serious vulnerability discovered a few days ago too. Looks like the fediverse is gonna need some time to adjust to this sudden massive wave of users.

vlemmy.net seems to be permanently down.
