feddit.de went down when the server’s disk ran full which corrupted the database, and by the time the admin (who was on a sabbatical) reacted, all backups had already been overwritten with the corrupted data.
The issue was that the instance was running on a single server, run by one person, who pays for it out of pocket and doesn’t get any money back.
But my guess is, that’s true for all but the biggest instances.
Bus factor strikes again.
