A strange issue during this night.

From midnight until 9:30 today (French time), the server was unavailable because of the Redis server that got corrupted.

No data was lost.

The fediverse should understands now that we are back, everything should gradually become normal!

Sorry if it took a little while. The sysadmin was sleeping ... literally.

meow.social has been updated to 2.7.0.

Full changelog here : https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v2.7.0

Update:
The issue has been resolved, and emails should be back on their way.
Might get a little spammy while the queue is being processed.

It appears meow emails are not being sent out to users, including follow requests and account verification emails.
We're investigating the issue, and will manually confirm accounts until it's resolved.
If your account is set to get follow requests, please check them manually every so often so you don't miss those.
We apologize and will try and sort this out ASAP.

We had a backup synchronization problem for 3 days, without detecting it.

We are currently running a complete and healthy backup to avoid a future problem.

No data was lost. i'm going to fix it now.

We have a lot of user registration and our instance is suffering from abnormal activity.

meow.social is very slow, the time to absorb this peak of activity. We are sorry for any problems that may occur.

Since we have a lot of users joining meow.social because of Tumblr's announcement to remove pornographic content ...

Feel free to read our rules about the types of media allowed, how to post them, and what we forbid.
