We had an issue over the past 24 hours or so that stopped incoming federated comments from making it to the database (you may have noticed highly-upvoted posts with 0 comments). This has now been resolved and comments are being received again.
This issue should not have impacted outgoing comments reaching other instances.
I also had this issue, and I created a new account on another instance to troubleshoot. So glad to see comments working again.
P.S. I love leminal.space! Thank you for running this instance, and if there’s anywhere I can donate to you guys for maintaining it, I’d be glad to do so!
Thanks for the support! We don’t currently accept donations, but it’s something we’ll consider in the future.
