Can you check periodically so you can get the link?
Comment on Does anyone know why Lemmy.world has been unstable for the past two weeks?

Either the problems with its API responses are breaking lemmy.world, or a broken lemmy.world is causing problematic API responses.
Currently, you can ask lemmy.world for page number billion of its communities and it’ll return a response (for the communities it thinks it has on that page, rather than an empty one, as it should). For something like lemmyverse.net, this means its crawler can never get to end of a scan, and some apps are maybe trying to endlessly load the list.

(there’s also a post in this community about it, which I would link to if lemmy.world would load for me)

Yep. Worked this time, so I’ve edited my comment.

Oh wow, I thought this was a bug in the Lemmy api. I was implementing comments paging in my app the other day and noticed it would just infinity load pages with duplicate comments. I guess I should have tested with another instance before disabling the feature.
