Is EH getting ddos’ed / having issues or just doesn’t like my browser/vpn/me/etc?

Been having a lot more issues than normal the last couple days. Even just trying to view page, but also posting/upvoting/sorting/etc, been getting either:

  • Various server errors (sometimes in-page error about site having issues try back later, sometimes browser error about site can’t be reached, etc)
  • various different JS popup errors (Network, Syntax Error: Unexpected Token ‘T’, Syntax Error: Unexpected Token ‘<’, Time out, 2 or 3 others)
  • A lot pages stuck on the loading spinner
  • The Create Post submit button getting stuck on a loading spinner
  • The Create Post title search thing getting stuck looking for other posts with similar titles
  • Sorting sub/community by New, a lot of the time it will completely skip a bunch of posts (e.g. I will see something days or hours old while sorted by Active, then after New sort is loaded the “newest” post is older than what I just saw. I am scrolling past / not counting the stickied threads).

And getting these about 90+ % of the time. Just curious if something is up since other sites seem to load fine for me.

Also, would it make things easier on the server if I always upload meme images to external servers and link to them rather than upload here? I know I post a lot of shit in dank memes but don’t want to be contributing to server issues if I can help by doing something simple like that.
