Hi there.
The pod diaspora.by5.de is not responding and results an error-message like shown in the screenshot: https://ibb.co/pZ86qpP

What can i do?

Thanks in advance

There’s nothing you can do about it, as the error message is caused by a setup issue on the site. You can find a bit more information here: https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/verbindung-ist-nicht-sicher-fehlermeldung?as=u&utm_source=inproduct

I used a less secure browser on which to access https://diaspora.by5.de/, and it shows a default-styled Gitlab instance, so it looks as though the podmin has taken down the pod and replaced it with a Gitlab instance. That might be what’s producing the error.

I think (although I might be incorrect that the podmin of by5 is the same person as the podmin of diaspora.u4u.org (moskito@diaspora.u4u.org). I might be wrong, but I’ll try to contact him to confirm this and, if I’m right, to find out what’s happened and what might be happening to the pod in the future. He recently posted a notice that diaspora.u4u.org would cease operation at the end of August, so it might be that he’s shutting down this and other pods he operates.

I’ll let you know if I hear anything. If anyone else knows the podmin of diaspora.by5.de and can try to contact them, please do.

I hope you have a recent back-up, in case the pod is down for good!

Good of you to inquire to inform us wondering what is happening.
