For hours today, yesterday, and intermittently since I’ve been on here (a month or so) lemmy stops loading using jerboa, liftoff, and a web browser.

The site isn’t listed on any down detector I know of, and each app gives different errors but ultimately just won’t load.

It’s often enough that recently when I consider jumping on here I just don’t because there will probably be an issue. Ranging from not loading, JSON errors, or just blank screens and my comments not working…

What’s going on? Is there a status page for these places?

    Thank you, helpful person!

    I edited the .ini file and installed python 3.11.4 without problems.

    When I type py in powershell it replies Python 3.11.4 (tags/v3.11.4:d2340ef, Jun 7 2023, 05:45:37) [MSC v.1934 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32, so it was obviously installed successfully.

    However, when I copypasta the commands you posted I always get the same reply for each, that python could not be found. What does that mean? Do I maybe have to put a filepath into the command somewhere? Do requests have to be installed separately? What is the meaning of all this, the universe and everything and why does my back always hurt?

      I bet replacing python3 with py will work:

      py -m pip install --user requests
py lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini

          Did you try my suggestion in this comment?

          I think your problem is that you aren’t pointing PowerShell at the right folder. You can use the cd command to get to the right folder containing the python script and config file.

            It is weird. I can navigate to the folder in powershell without a problem.

            C:\Users\Username\Desktop\lemmy_migrate-1.1.0>

            But when I execute

            py lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini

            in there I get

            C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\python.exe: can’t open file ‘C:\Users\Username\Desktop\lemmy_migrate-1.1.0\lemmy-migrate.py’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

            Edit:

            Found the problem, it´s

            py lemmy_migrate.py -c config.ini

            and not

            py lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini

            Thank you for the help!

        py -m pip install --user requests

        worked but also returned a warning:

        WARNING: The script normalizer.exe is installed in ‘C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python311\Scripts’ which is not on PATH.

        py lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini

        does not work and returns an error:

        C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\python.exe: can’t open file ‘C:\Users\Username\lemmy-migrate.py’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

        I guess I have to place the files in a certain directory, putting them in the python folder did not help though.

          Just make sure that you run the py lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini command in the same folder that has the python script and your edited config file.
