I realize this might not be the place for vlemmy.net outage issues, but this is the page listed on the error message.

For a few hours, I have been unable to access any communities at all. This is the message:

"There was an error on the server. Try refreshing your browser. If that doesn’t work, come back at a later time. If the problem persists, you can seek help in the Lemmy support community or Lemmy Matrix room.

The server returned this error: couldnt_get_posts. This may be useful for admins and developers to diagnose and fix the error"

Is this limited to vlemmy.net or is this a federation level event?

Seems to me like I need to make several accounts on different instances in case of defederation or server issues, which is not viable long-term.
